Hi, Eugene -

I'd probably second your motion, except for S.P. #18 - also a 4-6-0 and also under restoration -
and for most of the same reasons.

My other favorites are RGS #461, with the oddball extra link in the valve gear, and C&TS #483 -
not because of the weird color scheme but because she was the first engine used by the C&TS
and because I got to ride behind her as a brakeman in 1970 and in the cab as a fireman's helper
from Big Horn to Lava Loop on that same trip.

- Russ
