Favorite Locomotives!
- Thread starter strench707
- Start date
- 7000 series (Panorama Car) from manufacturer Meitetsu
- The Meitetsu 7000 series was a commuter electric multiple unit type operated by Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) in Japan since 1961.
It is unfortunately not in use.
The shape. The horn. Beautiful red paint. Interesting interior. All this makes the Series 7000 great train. I like it very much.
I had to be Japanese. Why am I Czech? I give myself the question.

NER Raven Electrics-EF1 and EE1
These engines are the most beautiful electric locos ever built, and they are the genesis of today's electrics. The EF.1's were built in 1919 for coal trains on the Shildon-Newport line. They were successful, but the line was de-electrified in 1935 due to financial reasons. Despite this, they ran until the mid-Fifties on various lines, and the last one survived until 1964. The sole EE.1 ,No.13, was less successful, but a bit nicer-looking. It was built for the (proposed) ECML electrification, and was completed in 1922. It ran during 1922 on the afterformentioned Shildon-Newport line, but after grouping the ECML electrification scheme was cancelled, making the loco useless. The LNER held on to it, and it was finally (tragically) scrapped by BR in 1951. However, it was famous enough for St. Lucia to put it on it's stamps:
None of these locos are in Trainz yet, but, you never know...

On Hiatus
My favorite locomotives would be just about any steam locomotive from the NP and GN. Mainly the NP's 4-8-4 Northern types, such as the one seen here:
For diesel and electric locomotives, I would definitely say a BN phase 1 SD60M and an MILW Little Joe locomotive

AAAAAGHHHH !!! I see just two icons that do nothing here....wish I knew why on my PC.Best locomotives All time
GT26CW-2 (SD60)
Alco
Thanks
After thinking for a while, the Dash 8-40CM was my preferred loco over the GF6C. But it's still pretty close. Odd that they're both loco's on BC rail. I haven't made it since people would get mad that I'll be piling on more to my already large pile of projects :hehe: But I'm slowly getting that released anyways.

My status on this loco is now neutral B[
Meh why not?
Paint it LNER Green and you've got yourself a Smart looking Tank Engine
My favourite loco has and always will be QR 2100 class, I like all the 90 tonne Clydes but the 2100s are the ones that stand out for me. Need to hear them, I think you could compare the sound to that of a GP38-2, very similar.

Have to disagree. I'd say it was the most beautiful electric locomotive in the world. I mean, just look at it:

My Favorite Locomotive.
My first favorite locomotive is in my user name. I, without a shadow of a doubt dig Pere Marquette Railway 2-8-4 "Berkshire" #1225.
This October 1941 product of the Lima Locomotive Works is a genuinely excellent steam locomotive. Although it had a short revenue service life span with the Pere Marquette (and later Chesapeake and Ohio Railway), the 1225 showed then as she does now, that she is as tame as a pet rabbit.
This is my girl, the one, the only Pere Marquette Railway class N-1 (later C&O class N-1) #1225! @nathanmallard You do realize, the electric locomotive in your first picture is similar in appearance to the Pennsylvania Railroad's famed GG1 electric locomotive. :hehe:

It does look similar in profile, but the EE1 is more slab-sided. It is actually the same loco in all of the photos, as only one was built. BTW, that shot of PM #1225 is epic!
