  3. Any, if not all British Steam.
  4. Some German Steam (and Polish too).
  5. Chinese Steam.
  6. Anything with a 4-6-0 Wheel Arrangement.
  7. 5AT Advanced Technology Steam Locomotive.
  8. Exported Locos.
  9. My fictional stuff based on the things above.
  10. C&O 614 (because she ran on my line back in '97).
Diesel:
  1. Whatever NJT uses on my Port Jervis Line.
  2. F-units.
  3. Most Australian and New Zealand Units.
  4. Japanese Diesels and DMUs.
  5. British Diesels and DMUs.
  6. US Exports (like whatever, say, Estonia and China have).

  • Most if not all German (and their neighboring countries) Stock and EMUs.
  • Most Australian and New Zealand Units and EMUs.
  • Most British units and EMUs.
  • Russian EMUs.
  • Exports.
  • Model Trains (Well, most are electrically powered!).

All South African steam loco's : Garrats - like the GL, GMAM, GEA, GF, GO , GCA , all NG Garrats , 25 Condenser & NC, Red Devil, 15F.
Actually, all of the steam locomotives that were used on SAR&H.
Then of course Big Boy and the Challengers.
 
For steam:

US: The General (4-4-0), and the Climax due to versatility and is superior to the shay.

Japan: Any steam (including foreign imports) my most favorite will be the C62 & the 7500 class.

For Diesels:

US: Mostly the E-units & the F-units, and the AS-616 by Baldwin.

Japan: Any Diesel, if I choose one, it will be the dd51.

For Electric:

Electric locomotives:

US: NYC P2, Little joe, and the GG1.

Japan: Any Electric locomotives (including Imports) my most favorite would be the EF58

EMUs:

US: ISE 3 (Demo run)

Japan: any EMUs, if I choose a few, it will be the E001 Luxury train, the 50000 series, and the E655 with the Imperial car.

If I were to choose any express trains, NYC's 20th century limited, Lincoln funeral Train, & The Broadway (formerly The Pennsylvanian) for the US. Hokutosei, Cassiopeia, and the Twilight Express for Japan.
 
Its so hard to choose but I think I've narrowed it done from all of them to just a few which are... The SW1500

MP15AC

GP11

Cheating a bit.... Favorites are not "types" but regionals and shorelines with unique and interesting paint schemes.....
