Ok, so my dad and I just went to the NJ Hirailers open house this past weekend (Feb 8th) and we were trying to figure out which engine was our favorite. They were running a Vision Line Big Boy #4014, and it was magnificent! After looking at all the different engines in all the cases, I kept saying "I love that one!" and then 5 seconds later saying it again!
I must say though, my favorite engine to watch is the SP Daylight GS-4 Steamer. I have a Lionel Legacy one and cant wait to get it back on the track (breaking ground on new layout in March.) I do also absolutely love the Grey UP Challenger. It is gorgeous when it is pulling the yellow/grey/black passenger cars. These are really a 1a 1b, with the SP Daylight as the 1a.
So, considering I can talk trains all day, what is your favorite engine??
GO!
