If you were given a choice of only 1 engine body style but could have as many as you want what would it be?

Ray how did you get smoke comming out in all the right places?
that's awesome!!
me being re-aquainted with the hobby, i can't seem to find a N scale steam engine that puffs smoke otherwise I'd have a 4-8-4 northern but me likes that 2-6-6-2
Thats a tuff question!..I have so many!!
here's some:
Pic #1 Alawys favored the GP-38s
#2 The K4 from the PRR line
#3 SW1500 switchers
#4 My local favorite East Broad Top #12 "Millie"
My fave engine is the first one I ever bought. A GP38-2. It was a crappy model that never ran right and could barely stay on a straight length of flex track, but I loved it nonetheless. I still have it after almost 15 years. I used it for painting experience before turning it into a static workshop display scene. I'm probably the only guy ever to cut up an engine for the sole purpose of using it that way on the layout.
