sorry, no pics because everything's in storage   But I love my early model 2026 steamer and my SF F3 AB of course.  Would like to pick up a 2046 to go with my larger postwar cars and upgrade the F3 to a dual motor model (somehow managed to get the one single motored version they made; boy was I upset with myself when I tried to pull my 2500 series cars!)

 

Khayden93,

    My favorite Post War Engine is not a Steamer, it's the Northern Pacific GP7/GP9 that was supplied to NP by the Union Switch & Signal right here in Swissvale, Pa in the original Pittsburgh Steelers Black, Gold with red trim line colors.  I just purchased the GP9 Legacy version of this Engine less than a month ago, will run her the 1st time on the next Christmas layout.

 Here is a 2026 that my older daughter found at a thrift store and gave to me for Christmas 2013.  It runs great.

So our younger daughter had to get in the act and found this 244 at a yard sale this summer.  It cleaned up quickly and runs like a champ.  I do need to get a tender.

Here is a 2035 I just purchased from a Forum member.  It needs some work but looks good.

Nice 2340 Andrew! Yes, the 2360 I have is restored.  Its an older restoration that's held up nicely! 

I am surprised no one has thrown out the Lionel 773. I have one too, but it isn't my favorite. It seems to be for a lot of folks though. My Dad's old 2025 is mine. Obviously for sentimental reasons. All my stuff is boxed up, so no pics. I have nearly all locos, but only the 2025 takes me back to my parents and lost childhood. Falling asleep in my onsie outfit  while watching the 2025 go around the tree. Makes me cry and smile at the same time. I can still feel the tight fit of that 1 piece Winnie the Pooh suit with plastic footsies.
