Favourite Locomotive in the Game (Not including Mods)

Post by eastcoastshipping »

Favourite Locomotive in the Game and your least favourite if you want(Not including Mods), please post, list would be long for a Vote. Probs has been done before, but Ive never seen it and its not on the front page, so please dont close this.

Mines the Crocodile for the Alps Terrain. 1 of these on reasonably mountainous track 40 all the way. 2 of these on any track 40 all the way.

Least favourite= Pacific... its too damn big, too damn expensive (to buy and run), rubbish at climbing hills and its the only locomotive you can buy for far too long.

I love all the big steam locos!! The A3 is very good - it comes early, is powerful, does 144 km/h - its specifications even match those of locos coming decades later!

The APT!

I'll spend hours watching the APT run between my cities and wobble left and right as it negotiates the high-speed curves...

I like the APT as well. I've made bends and curves out of perfectly straight sections of track just so I could watch the APT glide through them like a slalom skier.

I forget whether it was the F7 or the E8 ...

if both are available, then it is the F7 :P

however, I would even prefer it in the Santa Fe edition ^_^


I just love it!

I don't know why the American stream engines are so weak in the game,
compared with British one

Just on the sound alone, has to be the HST.... great seeing them speed along the mainline or accelerating out of a bend.

(On the same basis the Deltic or 58 )

Steam i like the A4 and the Big pacific. Non-Steam would have to be the Dash-7. My fav locos are the DD40X, GP-40 and SD-40-2 but 2 of those are mods and the other doesnt exist in the game..... yet...

Dont think I really hate one. Does the stockcar count? 15 animals at 50 mph. Not a loco but that car is just dreadful.

The Class 90 - you could conceivably run a network with just them.
