The ET&WNC 10-Wheelers. But my favorit one out of them all was the #12, I got the best pic I could of one the engines and snaged the one of #11, The all looked the same except for few minor details. The ET&WNC was the last narrow gauge railroad in all the blue ridge mountians, and was finally ended in 1950. This is 11 in the late 40s, when the line was slowly dieing. She did spot a neat scheme of ET&WNC Directly in the middle of the tender and the letters wer over the rivits making it look neat and center. She used to have all green cab with the over saying "ET&WNC Railroad" and had green every were else.

No worries, I saw an opportunity to use the line, and, having just seen the movie, I took it. :p

EDIT: So I don't look like a spammer, I go for just about anything 8-coupled (plus the USRA 0-6-0 we have at the museum). :D
 
well, my first would be the Frisco 1522:

Down here in the Land of Oz my favourites include the NSW C36 and C38 class and the VR S class (although I've never seen one "in the flesh")
 
Sorry to burst your bubble, but PRR E6s #7002 did 127.1 at Crestline, Ohio in 1905, but the record isn't official due to the Pennsy's lack of speedometers on their trains. There are also many apocryphal stories of T1s doing 150mph on the Pennsy.

Hmm, I wonder where the Aussies got thier inspiration for Sir Malcolm Barclay #522 at? I think its fairly clear!
