My favourite loco is any loco(s) hauling a long line of freight
through the countryside but preferably paralleling an interstate
highway highway - somewhere between Horsham and Dimboola is o.k. by me
- and going faster than the semis beside it.

If I could order my ideal train it would be double C's with a 1200
metre or longer train of containers of many different sizes and
colours going like the clappers. 

Just the thought of how many semis it would take off the road brings a
tear to mine eyes.........
