Not at all sure this is a good idea, but one of my favorites was the "J" pulling a string of Tuscan cars, on those timetables my station agent grandfather would bring me from the Fairbank depot.

But it has always pleased me with its brass construction, its baked on paint with proper Tuscan stripe, and its smooth running (after I pulled the out-of-balance flywheel).
Yes, I have a string of 85' coaches to follow it - not all are N&W; one is PRSL, another is Long Island. But I am happy. Herewith:
