Everyone post your favorite steam train type and a picture!
Mine is the Milwaukee Road classes F6 capable of breaking the 100mph limit with a load.

Going for world record? A beautiful British engine clothed aerodynamically shroud giving it a perpendicular look.
British (UK really) are known for smaller colorful engines, shrill whistles, and lack of main head light compared to their american counterpoints.
Excellent choice!

This seems to be a 4-4-0 of a Frisco type: https://thelibrary.org/lochist/frisco/f ... p01520.jpg
Definitly American with its large head lamp, not very powerful but could make decent speeds and other fetishes.
