I've tried and tried to come up with a legitimate answer, but I just can't. Instead, I have 2 M1 Garands, 1 1903 Springfield, 1 Mauser 98K, and 1 Taurus "Circuit Judge" to make sure nobody forces that decision on me !!! SORRY !!! That's the best I can do !!!
I don't have a lot to choose from, but I like what I have. Tops would be (all with DCC): Bachmann 70-tonner for the yard Atlas GP9TT (Chicago & North Western) Bachmann 4-6-0 (C&NW) Bachmann 4-8-2 BLI E7 with sound (C&NW) I'd certainly swap a Kato 2-8-2 for one of the Bachmann steamers (not that I have any complaints with either). And I have a LifeLike SW9 in C&NW colors that I may prefer in the yard, but it doesn't have a decoder. Jim
Here are my 5: Athearn UP Big Boy 4014 kato SP GS4 warbaby UP FEF 3 844 (if I had one I would never get rid of it) kato UP CNW Heritage SD70ACE 1995 Concor 4-6-4 Hudson UP Forty Niner Please don't tell my other engines - I tell them I love them all equally so they won't break down. John
Tough choice and a lot of cutting. Life Like SP&S C424 Kato custom painted SP&S NW-2 Life Like RS-2 custom painted SP&S Bachmann Alco S-4 painted for NP Atlas SD-7 GN in BSB
I'm in agreement with his post! Geeeezzzzz.... I would have had a darn hard time deciding what 50 locomotive I'd keep. This is downright impossible!!

jpwisc, I have never heard of a GP8. Was that a GP7 or GP9 that was modified in some way by your chosen railroad?
