Union Pacific 4-8-8-4
Reasoning: Commonly mislabeled as the heaviest, strongest and longest steam locomotive ever built. The UP Challengers were much more handsome.
Southern Pacific 4-8-4 GS-4 (4449)
Reasoning: They had ugly faces. The colors were nice, but the Southern Pacific had nicer engines with the same color scheme. Look up the GS-6.
Nickel Plate Road (765)
Reasoning: 765 gets way too much love, and her sisters not enough. Sure, it's nice to have an engine as large and as pretty as 765 running (I myself am a huge fan of 765) but other NKP engines like the 4-6-4 170 are unknown to exist to some people. Some of these Berks need a lot of lovin, like 755 in Conneaut, Ohio, or a C&O 2-8-4 in Dennison, Ohio. How many companies have you seen make a NKP 2-8-4 apposed to a more significant model, like "Old Maude", the First American Mallet.

Bessemer and Lake Erie 643 will be moved to the age of steam roundhouse in Sugar creek Ohio. She’s safe!
Sandpatch and Southern Steamer Sights and Sounds
Ever wonder what a Sandpatch and Southern steam engine looks and sounds like?
Whistle is a Sandpatch and Southern 5 Chime. (I changed the pitch of an existing whistle until I thought it sounded like an SP&S whistle!) I did upload the whistle into trainz, so Note me if you're interested.
The Philosophers
Filosofy lish' razlichnym obrazom ob"yasnyali mir, no delo zaklyuchayetsya v tom, chtoby izmenit' yego.
What in the hell?!?
I went and did the math:
After going through all of the drawings of every Sp&s steam locomotive, disregarding all of my contradictions, and mistakes, the SP&S had at the least, 494 steam locomotives rostered. All, except for 4, are road engines.
There will be a "liquidation" of sorts to rectify all of the mistakes and to make that number more realistic, and to add a record of switching locomotives.
This is to prepare the world for a textual history of the SP&S

I completely agree with the Big Boy overrating. The Jabbleman Challengers do look neater, and I swear the Big Boys are the reason none of the Fetter Challengers survive!
I'd rather take a GS-5. I mean, roller bearings on all axles?! They were like the SP's on N&W J class!
I'm...rather indifferent to the Nickel Plate Berks as a whole. Granted, the Berkshire concept baffles me a little.
