We asked you to vote for your favourite locomotive and now we count down your top ten big locomotives.

We count down the top ten big locomotives of all time, voted for by you.

Western’ or ‘Deltic’? ‘A4’ or ‘Duchess’? Everyone has their favourite classes of locomotives and will defend them against criticism with all the passion of the football supporter. But what are your favourite locomotives? We asked you in the June issue of Model Rail (MR274) and on our social media channels for your favourite prototype class of all time. The votes are in – and here are the results! We’ve divided them into ‘big’ and ‘small’ locomotives, counting down the top ten in each category. Over the next four pages, and on pages 66-69, we’ll reveal the favourites you voted for – and the ready-to-run manufacturers who offer them in the three popular scales so you can add them to your collection.
