TOP 3 Train Engines YOU Need to Collect!!!

[@hardtime3769]

Spot on with the ranking. When I started collecting postwar, one of the first things I bought was the Sante Fe f3 ABA. Have it in HO too. An absolute icon in the model train world and certainly deserves the top spot.

[@Fanofthomas31]

Proud to say I own all of these in N scale. Kato offers starter train packs with Santa Fe F7s in multiple colors so it’s very easy to get those. I own a Bachmann DCC Sound GG1 in Pennsylvania tuscan red and just recently I managed to get a Bachmann J3A Hudson that’s also DCC Sound fitted. Hadn’t had much luck with that one up to this point, all the ones I’d ever seen for sale in the hobby shops had very noticeable broken pieces.

[@birdman1852]

RBP is alive.

[@Dadified86]

He never left 👍

[@randytaylor1258]

No question -- the F3 (BOTH A& B units) has to be there. It is absolutely the iconic 1950s locomotive, and every road name seemed to run it.

[@TalyllynNo.1]

[@DavidDixon-m4p]

Great fun video as always. Love the Santa Fe. Remember the New Haven growing up in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Great choices. Enjoy all your videos.

[@larrylazar8357]

NYC Hudsons are my favorite locomotive, and I can remember seeing them in action in the early 50s. I would have originally stated that it should have been number one on your list, but in retrospect I have to agree the F3 nosed out my beloved Hudsons for the first spot. It was close though. Great video.

RBP is the GOAT My favorites are the Berkshire and Bigboy

[@joelappold1945]

Great stuff Chris! IMHO, a must for every collector is their first one. Don't let that one go!

[@DriftingLOBOS]

[@RBPTrains]

Berks had to make the list!

[@DriftingLOBOS]

@@RBPTrains right, I love Berks including the PM1225 and NPR 765

[@SoCal_Jerry]

I have all three of your TOP THREE and I agree. I even have two or more of each group. Love these trains for their nostalgic memories they bring out. Your Honorable Mentions are good too! Thanks Chris for this fun video! Jerry

[@Ed-ICE-Berg]

Nice video Chris! I can't really argue because, after all, these were your picks but I do have a couple of suggestions in good faith: - I wouldn't have picked a particular electric type loco or a particular railroad. You live out east so it's natural to pick the Pennsy GG1, but not everyone is enamored of the Pennsy. While I have and run Pennsy, it doesn't make me all googly-eyed. Instead as a Top 3 choice, I would say 'electrics' in general. Any electric, from any railroad, as they are part of the trifecta of locomotives: steam, electric, and diesel. Also, electrics could be anything from an EP1 from back in the day, to a modern era Acela. -Hudson. Yup! No arguments. Although not all railroads called the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement 'Hudson'. For example, the Milwaukee Road referred to them as 'Baltics' (and I noticed your AWESOME Hiawatha engine). 4-6-4's could be found running the rails all over the country making it a ubiquitous locomotive. -F3. Again - Yup! Couldn't have asked for a more iconic engine than the Santa Fe F3 in its glorious Warbonnet scheme! -Honorable mention: This one I think you missed out on entirely. As toy or model train lovers, there is one type of engine that was in more starter sets than any other: the 4-4-2 Atlantic (or, in a pinch, the 2-4-2 Columbia). Everyone likes to refer to Lionel's Hudson as 'the workhorse of toy trains' but I beg to differ. If ever there was a locomotive deserving of a place in the toy train Hall of Fame, it's the lowly Atlantic. Available in so many sets, in so many roadnames, through so many years, this real workhorse was the start for many people entering the hobby and worthy of a subset of collecting in its own right. Best Regards Ed

[@scpvrr]

I agree with your list. To me the Santa Fe F3 is nearly ubiquitous in US model railroading.

[@PDLM1221]

Yes your choices were spot on! All good!

[@GeriBenson]

Nice to watch your Videos again. Keep them. Coming

[@jaredelliott8282]

Chris, the way that I look at it is, is that nobody is right, nobody is wrong. Everybody has their own personal opinions on each of their locomotives. 😀 With me having so many locomotives, I personally cannot pick out a "top 3" or my top favorites...lol I love all my trains on an equal level. Anything that I pick out to buy, it's just awesome to me! 😁👍🏻🚂 I've been into trains (specifically O gauge and HO.) since age 6 (I'm now 48) and I have to thank my dad for that! 😀👍🏻🚂 He actually bough me my first Lionel train set when I was 6. It's a Hudson set that came with 3 freight cars and a caboose which I still have and it still runs believe it or not! The only thing wrong with it, is that I just need to get a new headlight bulb put in and that's all. -Jared- Akron, Ohio.-

[@RBPTrains]

Agree that all the trains are cool. Good news is your Dad snagged you that Hudson first thing so you are already on the board, lol

[@patnatale6786]

Agree with all. Honorable mention might include the FM Trainmaster

[@jameslanders4819]

Very good content and commentary Chris.

[@RBPTrains]

Thanks James!

[@Tomeleck]

I was surprised but pleased by your selection of a GG1 as one of your "Top Three" must have locomotives for every collector. Not everyone has had the opportunity of being literally blown away by the real engines which thundered past (and through) my Villanova University student years. They ran past many times a day running on the old Pennsylvania Main Line. The Lionel Hudson was certainly an excellent choice as well since it was the first prototypically styled Lionel Locomotive. The good old F7 (or F3) design was also a brilliant choice as pretty much everyone of a certain age in the USA, and almost everyone living across the USA at the time was able to see the real deal everywhere in the country. Congratulations on another great video.

[@louislankford8614]

I think you hit it right on the head. I definitely agree with you on the top 3. Cool video ma man.

[@ChristopherORourke-s7g]

Chris I totally agree with your top 3 & the honorable mentions of the Southern Pacific Daylight which I have a my N scale excursion train which includes the 10 car Morning Daylight cars. I have seen many GG1 ELECTRICS in action on the Pennsylvania later Penn Central railroad passing through Newark,DE many times.

[@Hammer6343]

Chris, I agree completely with your top three and the order was perfect. I do think the S-2 might have deserved an honorable mention.

[@tomrogers5516]

The Hudson and the Santa Fe F3 are the two I think of when my mind is directed to think of a steam loco or a diesel. I was born in the 1940's, so these were the first locomotives that come to mind. At Christmas time I used to drag mother to toy train displays in the big department stores to see the layouts. These two models were always featured. The experience of seeing those two locomotives stays with me even after all these years. Thanks for journey to some good memories!

[@abronxdude]

Just think, it won’t be long before our kids say ‘look at how great these things run and they’re 100 years old!’ I have a NYC F3 that’s 72 years old and runs just like it did 72 years ago with just a bit of maintenance. And it doesn’t need railsounds!

[@BARnTrains]

100% nailed it. I liked this video, as usual you did well.

[@russrockino-rr0864]

Awesome list, Chris! Thanks for Sharing!

[@billbruff9613]

Talk about a Pandora's box Chris. I was going to comment on your east coast bias but you saved yourself with the runner up GS and Northern. On my own list would be the "prohibited by you" cab forwards of the SP. As a very young boy my family lived in Reno and my dad would take us down to the mainline to see and FEEL these behemoths rumble through town.

[@kylepeters4319]

[@patrickwhitehead5637]

It's very obvious you really took your time and put lots of thought/research into your list! I had guessed your top 3 as the video opened, before you announced. I own multiples of all three of your top 3 list and I totally agree with your choice and the order which you put them. I must say though, I think an articulated steam locomotive ( such as the Big Boy or Allegheny ) should have been among your " honorable mentions"... just because of their uniqueness. Great video!! I just subscribed to your channel!!

[@MadLudwig]

As a youngster I remember watching the PRR / CONRAIL GG1 locomotives roar past the Radnor train station on the main line near my high school. They were massive and downright frightening. Just awesome to see moving at high speeds. You could also hear them coming through the overhead catenary wires, which would make a metallic sound like a bullet ricochet. And they had a distinct smell to them as well.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Thank you, Chris! Well done!

[@trainguy4861]

I’m so excited to see you back hope your voice is fully back

[@Hammer6343]

Yes! You nailed it! And you’re right, these are the engines you can run on most layouts which means seasonal layouts which means O31-O36.

[@georgebenson6036]

My honorable mentions would have included the post war GP-9 and the 736 Berk. Thanks for the video.

[@MrMarshall7491]

Good analysis. I'm 77 and grew up on post-war so I have plenty of F1s but I tried to buy a Scale Hudson and couldn't. I never liked GG1 because I'm a lifelong resident of California and it just never was seen out here. When I got money and my now former wife left I started buying trains again. I had all my pre-war trains still. I was advised by the dealer in San Dimas to get the latest models as they will hold their value due to the higher tech wanted by younger people. So far that's been good advice. Prewar is down, I believe. I also have a lot of pre-war as the interior and window decorators love them

[@htssoutboardsboatstrains9784]

Love the video & mostly agree if you think from a "collector" which means Semi thru O scale. AND GG1's are ELECTRIC trains on a grand scale! For me maybe another video? But those trains that brought us into the hobby have to be either the most important or at least an honorable mention because for many, without them there would not have been the hobby to appreciate. All those O-27 die cast Lionel's & Marx Steamers and for me the O-27 Lionel "sheet metal framed" Alco FA's . While not "Collector" from a model railroad perspective, they are Historical and were the platform that created "collectors"

[@davidliebowitz820]

Much like the GG1, I'm surprised you didn't mention an FM Chris. Seems to be a staple in many collections but I agree with your choices as a whole. They have ALL left an indelible mark on the hobby.

[@billintex001]

Berkshire. No history. Lionel 726 anybody? My all time fav post war steamer followed by the 675 K4. I like your other choices but for the GG1. Don't get me wrong, she's a fine prime mover and I'd like one one day, but being from west of the Mississippi and most RRs of the granger variety, the all electrics aren't part of the lore so the attachment isn't that strong, but as you said it's all opinion and I find your opinions highly respectable. Great video, sir!

[@hudsonrailroad4668]

I definitely agree the F3 and the Hudson’s are fantastic. They have a a lot of history in the model railroad scene

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

All good choices Chris, and no wrong ones. In fact there's really no wrong choices, it's really a case of what one can find AND afford. That being said let me add my own choices for "must-haves," they're solid, rugged, reliable, easy to repair and all classic Post-War Lionel, PLUS having the advantage of lowering demand on the less than pristine ones and with a concomitant price drop. So, my choices are: The Lionel 736 Berkshire The Lionel 2055 and 2065 Hudsons AND the Lionel Post-War Pennsy Turbine All easily found and easily affordable as prices are trending down AND if you're handy and have done some modeling and the engines have external wear it's no sin if you repaint and decal them for whatever 'road you like. If done it myself and am VERY pleased with the results. Hey, come up with your own "Fantasy Paint Scheme!" Why not? Just some thoughts. And thanks for posting, it's ALWAYS a good day with an RBP video!

[@RBPTrains]

Ah yes, the classic Turbine!

[@RSJB_18]

Hard to narrow it down to just 3 Chris but I think you nailed it. For honorable mentions I'd add the RS-3 and GP7's, and 9's. Probably 2 of the most important early diesels. Good work!

[@robertbirath6728]

Hi Chris! It is so good to see you and one of your videos. I have missed you buddy and that beautiful layout. I think the list that you came up with is excellent and being a diesel guy I'm all for the Santa Fe F3 and agree with you about its importance to the railroad collectors and community. I think your choice about the Katy and the Union Pacific SD 70s are also right up there. I also like the Santa Fe SD 70s. I'm not anti steam but I just enjoy seeing the diesels because that is what is what runs here in SoCal. You do such a great job with your videos. Have fun at the York train show. Show some video of you getting together with some of your friends and what was available at the show. Thanks again Chris. Great to see you! 😎👍

[@josephpolanin182]

Two thumbs up for the Hudson's and the diesels. The GG-1 is one of the homeliest vehicles on rails.IMHO of course.

[@caryhewitt1256]

I agree with you on your top 3 picks. I have an f3/7 from the 1950's. It has the port on the bottom of the loco for the D cell batteries to operate the "diesel horn". No TMCC. It is custom painted in Northern Pacific colors. These locomotives are one of my favorites.

[@arborist57]

Top 3 yes, agreed. I have both the semi scale and full scale GG1 and got the opportunity to see the real ones in action at the end of their career. I think I have more scale Hudsons than any other engine and the Lionel NYC ABA F3. The list does really go on Mohawks, Berkshires, Pacifics, Mikados et al. The only thing I can't wrap my head around is modern diesel power, they all look like bricks to me. Thanks for the list!

[@spencerfesing4145]

What's funny is I have one or more of every locomotive you mentioned in the video either in my position or on order. (I must be doing something right) I agree with all the picks, but I'd swap the hutson and F-unit. (personally I prefer steam over diesels) If you have the space to run them, I'd add that you need one large steam locomotive. Big Boy, Challenger, Yellowstone, UP 9000 class, PRR S1, and so on or an odd/unique locomotive. A turbine loco, logging locomotive, triplex, Areo train, you get the point. Great video, can't wait for the triplex video.

[@larrytennant7476]

Great choices.just amazing locomotives.

[@johnchambers8528]

I agree with your list. All three engines would be on my list. I of course own an F model Santa Fe engine to pull my Santa Fe passenger cars. I did own for a short time a Hutson engine but traded it for other items years ago. I never owned a GG-1 since my model railroad was set in the west featuring mostly Santa Fe trains. However a friend of mine modeled the Pennsylvania Railroad and owns several GG-1’s. He prefers the older original Lionel ones since he finds them to run dependably and easy to service if any work is needed. Your other honorable mentions were good too. I do own a Polar Express set and like its engine which is always run under my Christmas tree each year. The only other engine that I feel deserves honorable mention is the Alco PA engine that was featured on many era Lionel passenger and freight sets. Thanks for the video and your choices.

[@joecarlson6428]

Hard to argue with this list. I am in my 70s. Started life in Rockford ILL. Road on Santa Fe and Rock Island passenger trains headed by likely F3 units. Also lived for a couple of years next Chicago Great Western tracks. I remember the F3 4 unit freight diesels and the local NW-2 switcher. If I were to add as an honorable mention would be the switchers like the NW-2, S2/S4, or VO 1000. These started in Post War and continue into the modern era. These two ruck switchers are as ubiquitous as the F3. I am surprised that the Hudson is more popular than the Berkshire. Good video.

[@RBPTrains]

Had to pick the Hudson over the Berk as it was Joshua Lionel Cowen's favorite locomotive. Had they given it the attention back in the day that it has now, it may have edged out the Hudson but who knows. Thanks for watching!

[@DRCRailroard]

Thanks, Chris. When you take the time to ponder just how many different engines America had that came and went, it's quite remarkable. It's really concerning that the production of new engines is no longer something anyone is producing. It seems that once the competition died, so did the entire industry. Is there anybody left building new engines?

[@RBPTrains]

Will be interesting to see what the future holds for the railroad equipment. Not sure myself.

[@DRCRailroard]

​@@RBPTrainsThanks, since I've had some time to think about it. I find it hard to come up with a favorite. Even breaking them down in three different categories, steam, diesels, and electrics, it's difficult to have a favorite. I do seem to keep a consist with a Hudson on one of my loops and I'm drawn to any of the streamlined steamers. I have 2 consists of SantaFe F-3s on 2 other loops with sets of Black and Bluebonnets, and the GG1 is definitely my favorite electric engine. My favorite seems to be the ones I'm currently running at the time. It still puts a smile on my face like it did the first time I ran it when I pull one off the shelves to run it, reliving that experience all over again. It's like experiencing train geek nirvana. It might be a disease. One I hope there is no cure for.

[@VeekerStudios]

Great video Chris! I enjoy hearing you talk about your locomotives and the history behind them. My hot take is that the Northern should have taken the place of the Hudson on the list (no offence), for the reasons that you provide - while the O-scale Hudson has more history with Lionel, it pales in comparison for wide-spread presence. There are so many examples of Northerns across North America that you can probably find one that fits your chosen railroad, and many have survived into preservation fame.

[@RBPTrains]

All good points!

[@DavidFortney-tx3gc]

I agree for the most part, mine are the Hudson no.1, F3, no.2 and the gg1 no 3 because I have owned them all of them one time or another. There are so many that could be 1,2, or 3. Guess I like them all!!!
