Nailed it Lee. The little to medium size steamers are what looks authenic on most layouts. The giant steamers are great to look at but look out of place on most home layouts.

I have the earlier Legacy, the C&O model. I added my Super-Chuffer to give it better smoke performance and Rule-17 lighting, it's a nice little locomotive for sure.

Nice looking engine but you have me thoroughly confused. I thought this was Monday but now I'm uncertain because you usually post this on Tuesday. Now I'll be confused all week.

I believe Lionel did the F12a which later became F12es when they added superheaters. F12a 8xx cab number, F12e 12xx. Lionel did them both plus a 3rd. One Odyssey, two Legacy. They all run together in TMCC mode.

Sorry, I should have explained. I am have a small "procedure" tomorrow that will correct a deficiency in the last surgery, but keep me away from the forum for a day or two.

Wishing you nothing but the best tomorrow and look forward to your return.

I have a couple of ten wheelers. A Lionchief plus P&R camelback and an MTH Premier PRR G5s.

I have to agree with you Lee, the ten wheeler is a great loco and at just about the right size. It would be at home with switching, branchline duties, or any where you want to use it. I have a Lionel also, but it is the TMCC version before they made the Legacy ones. As you pointed out they don't have the "wow factor" like the mallets, but they sure do like great on our layouts.

Here is your prototype Lee. Not sure where I found this as its been in the photo library for some time.

Lee, I hope your procedure is very minor and you're back in no time!

I never think of my Camelback locomotives when I think of 10-wheelers.

Watching a video. I fell for that whistle. I have been hounding Lionel for years to offer a Rutland Milk Train set. Finally decided to make my own. I purchased a Northern Pacific seeing it had the correct white striping. I couldn’t agree more with Lee. Just a simple well running engine. I liked it enough to buy a second for doubleheading.

Dave, that is a beautiful picture! I love the weathering and realism and the way that you have staged this shot. I can picture myself standing at trackside as these two engines speed your milk train to it's destination.
