My favorite is Lionel NYC F3 ABA with screen tops my mother bought in a after Christmas sale at Woolworths 5&10 in the mid 50's. Still have them and they still run.

Sounds great Dave... love the memories that get attached to our favorites. Its like we should also add sentimental favorites to the thread.

My dad got me a pair of 2483 santa fes in the mid 1970s from the york meet. They were sweet. Like a dummy i sold them, expecting to get a new pair in better condition (eventually). I can easily buy a mint pair now, but whats missing is having the SAME engines i had as a kid.

I still have some postwar that i got in the 1970s at the detroit toledo TCA meets with my Dad. Those seem to be my favorites even today...
