I have had more than a dozen original LGB locos since 1978, but my all-time favorite is the 2085D 0-6-6-0 mallet. I was fortunate to recently acquire a mint, unused 2085D in a pristine box and it is a pure delight to run. Mine is the later version without the slanted stack but also with the added catenary warning markings. The 5 volt smoke unit pours out volumes of Seuthe smoke and the four sets of running gear are literally "poetry in motion"! The lighted cab has both a fireman and engineer, and the boiler detailing has much piping! Truly, a colorful and nicely detailed loco, with excellent pulling power. Always a favorite with my train room guests, whether pulling a set of 3062 OBB passenger cars or a train of PIKO bier reefers. My second all-time favorite LGB loco would be the brown 2040 RhB "baby" crocodile.

very nice Art, how bout a few pictures.

I have only one LGB/Aster engine, a Garratt (new, not run)
