I'm a steam engine person, but I know that some prefer diesel's or electrics.
My favorite is Canadian Pacific's 2317. It currently resides in Steamtown, Scranton, PA.

Weh! My two favorite engines in the world!
My 3 favorites are
Mallard,
Flying Scotsman &
City of Truro
Went to York one day, Saw
Mallard and
Flying Scotsman in the National Railway museum, then waiting in the station for our train back to Stevenage, and the
City Of Truro pulls in. 3 of my favorites in one day!
My favorite diesel has to be the
Virgin Voyager.
Im not sure about my favorite Electric. Probably the
Eurostar (Euro Tunnel and GNER livery)
