Lets see your favorite postwar locomotive or locomotives

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!)

Were you looking just for steam locomotives, or any postwar engines? I ask because it appears a moderator has edited your original post, so I cannot be sure what the original request was at this point.

I couldn't possibly pick one favorite.  It would be like picking a favorite child.  

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.

Geez, that's like asking to see a photo of my favorite child!!!!!  

Hi Folks,

Well, this was my father's favorite (also my favorite), the Lionel 44 Ton Center Cab, bought for my second Christmas in the late 1950s:

Take care, Joe.

Nice one

 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.

My Christmas present 671 from a boxed set I found at a local hobby shop. Had a 2020 as a child and couldn't pass this set up.

(sorry about the orientation of the photo--how can I correct?)

Here are a few postwar favorites.

I did not have an opportunity to take photos before my sets were placed in storage. My favorite sets are the early postwar gray 221/221T w/blue & silver passenger cars and my black 221/221W freight set.  

I don't have a photo but it has to be the 2035 that I received as a holiday gift 64 years ago. It's still a great runner.

I'm going with this guy since we're doing any postwar motive power.

Glad to read that.  I'm anticipating a good work over will get my 2035 chugging again!

Jim,

They are all SUPER!!

One of my favorite Switchers.
