    I've tried and tried to come up with a legitimate answer, but I just can't. Instead, I have 2 M1 Garands, 1 1903 Springfield, 1 Mauser 98K, and 1 Taurus "Circuit Judge" to make sure nobody forces that decision on me !!! SORRY !!! That's the best I can do !!!

    I don't have a lot to choose from, but I like what I have. Tops would be (all with DCC):

    Bachmann 70-tonner for the yard
    Atlas GP9TT (Chicago & North Western)
    Bachmann 4-6-0 (C&NW)
    Bachmann 4-8-2
    BLI E7 with sound (C&NW)

    I'd certainly swap a Kato 2-8-2 for one of the Bachmann steamers (not that I have any complaints with either). And I have a LifeLike SW9 in C&NW colors that I may prefer in the yard, but it doesn't have a decoder.

    I'd let my fiance decide. See, that was simple. :)

    Here are my 5:
    Athearn UP Big Boy 4014
    kato SP GS4 warbaby
    UP FEF 3 844 (if I had one I would never get rid of it)
    kato UP CNW Heritage SD70ACE 1995
    Concor 4-6-4 Hudson UP Forty Niner

    Please don't tell my other engines - I tell them I love them all equally so they won't break down.

    Bachmann Alco S-4 painted for NP
    Atlas SD-7 GN in BSB

    I'm in agreement with his post!

    Geeeezzzzz.... I would have had a darn hard time deciding what 50 locomotive I'd keep.
    This is downright impossible!!

    Dave: It is just plain evil to ask us to choose only 5 engines.:angry:

    Be careful, Steve! If you had my type of luck, she'd say they all must go! Yikes!

    SCXY GP9 1363
    ILSX GP10 1345
    ILSX SD40-2 1344

    jpwisc, I have never heard of a GP8. Was that a GP7 or GP9 that was modified in some way by your chosen railroad?
