"Will also vote for the Santa Fe F3 because I fear that the 2-10-10-2 might beat the Y6B"
The Y6B is a very nice articulated engine. Been done several times in O-Gauge. But, but, but, the ATSF 3000 is rare, beautiful, and only been prodcued just once. Probablky the best O-Gauge s cale engine eevr produced. A vote for the ATSF 3000 is a vote for truth, justice, and all that is good in our hobby.
Vote ATSF 3000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will vote for the N&W Y6B as this loco has the "LOOK" to it. Hoping Lionel reissues it again! I know you love those SF F3's Brian, they sure are pretty but we have to vote for what we believe to be the absolute best Steam Locomotive Lionel ever built. The AT&SF 2-10-10-2 #3000!!! It is visually stunning. Especially the one of a kind tender it has. Even Lionel's BIG BOY is not in the same class as the AT&SF articulate. The 3000 STANDS ALONE AT THE TOP OF THE HEAP! Gary.

Persuasive words from you and Brian. I must vote my conscience and not my bracket (there are only so many points I can get from the next round anyway). However, my conscience tells me to vote any way that thwarts the RM as it so undeservedly ousted the GEVO in overtime.

More Day 2 excitement in the South where the Lionel TMCC Santa Fe F3 battled with the Lionel VL AT&SF 2-10-10-2. The match went 8 overtime periods before the Lionel VL AT&SF 2-10-10-2 pulled off the victory. Tournament matches continue tomorrow at 8:00AM with two more matches from the East and Mid-West Regions.

You may need their votes. Beware. You barely beat the lowly F3.
Big Boy vs 2-10-10-2 would have been interesting.

Disgraceful that the RM won on the dice again. I renew my call for a Constitutional Convention.😎⚖️💣
At least a few RM supporters are going to have to choose in short order between the trinket and the YB6.

Oh no. I just looked at this unfair exercise in scheduling. How can you possibly put Our two winners against each other? The train of destiny against an icon.
Paula is apoplectic!
N and W is our railroad... how can we possibly vote against that. But the Rocky Mountaineer is a dream being lived out.
Better sleep on it.
And you other guys have quite a choice to make as well.
I don’t think the Y6B can beat the other steamers BUT the Rocky Mountaineer is destiny, the future, beauty every day.
And, as I was just reminded, the N and W is gone AND Norfolk Southern moved the headquarters to Atlanta and the main shops from Roanoke... Roanoke with its vast heritage... to somewhere in Pennsylvania. What an absolute bad joke. We are absolutely not Norfolk Southern despite our NS equipment.
The New York Central is gone, the Santa Fe is gone, the N and W is gone. But the future is in front of us.

This has been a lot of fun for all of us, Emile.
It reminds of the little old lady who once asked, "where's the beef". I think we know the OGF has nothing but premium grade beef, and, lots of it.
