Paul, I don't know who made the engine or very much about S gauge trains. I will defer to Rusty's post below mine to identify the engines.
Ed's layout was featured in Great Model Railroads magazine several years ago. The SP engines were most likely visiting power. Ed's layout is based on the New York Central and to a lesser extent other Northeast railroads. Most of his home power is NYC.
Ed's layout is a magnificent model railroad in every respect. It is even more impressive because it is S scale. This means that many if not most everything needed to be scratch built. It has been on tour at O Scale West nearly every year. (I don't get to OSW every year.) The photos of western power were taken at OSW in 2011. I was going to post more photos of his layout but the theme of this topic is western railroading. Maybe I should post something on the S scale forum? Here are a several more typical scenes taken at OSW in 2019. NH Joe
