ANY TYPE OF LNER PACIFIC - excluding those by Thompson.

Also Bullied locos (including rebuilds) and the Dub-Dees.

Although give me a Stanier loco n e day

So in reality, most locos that were built (excluding the Green Wet & Rusty ones)

AGREED! Those Thompson pacifics just lokked WRONG. Besides the fact that many were rebuilt from Gresley Greats, e.g. A1s, P2s and somehow V2s!

yea the last four V2's in the contract were modified during construction to make them one of his most C*^@$#&*# peices ever!!!

But the thing that really pissed me off the most was that he rebuilt North Eastern (i think it wos dat one) to his "super pacific" as he said once.
Dont get me wrong: some of his designes were very powerful, but the did crack their frames the most out of n e pacific to enter BR stock!!!

Good for you IKB (BTW do you realise that we are the only two on this site who have stood up and admitted we like Yank railroads?)

Just to be different - prewar Swiss and German electrics. Favourite on msts is probably RhB Ge 6/6I.

Yup i like the yank stuff and i have no british routes installed,nearly all USA and a couple of european.Some of the US steam loco`s are brilliant and i actually bought 3 packs of diesels, gp35`s,sd35`s and sd38`s ,all with custom cabs and sound.

I must admit prior to MSTS I had zero interest in American stuff - but now I love the classic GG1 electrics, F7 diesels and also some of the more modern Amtrak stuff - although freight leaves me cold at the moment.

Hymeks and Westerns. Not quite old enough to remember Warships.
