I’ve always been drawn to the raw power and personality of steam locomotives especially the big articulated types like the Union Pacific Big Boy. There’s just something magical about the sight of those massive drivers turning and the rhythmic chuff of steam.
That said, I’ve recently developed an appreciation for modern diesels too, especially GE Evolution Series super fun to weather and detail with realistic grime and rust patterns.
Each loco type has its own story to tell. Looking forward to seeing what others are into bsteam, diesel, electric bring it on!
From the powerful steam giants of the past to sleek modern electrics, every locomotive type has its own charm. Whether you’re drawn to the engineering, the sound, or the look there’s a lot to love.
What’s your favorite type of locomotive to model or collect?
