Okay, here goes: D&RGW #683! It's a C-28 standard gauge locomotive which is at the Colorado Railroad Museum and also happens to be the only standa rd gauge D&RGW steamer left on the planet!! It has beautiful lines (kind of an honorary narrow gauge) and would make a helluva model!

How about something off the beaten path like this compressed air powered mine locomotive by Baldwin:

You'd said 'steam please' and this is not exactly that, but so much steam has already been done.
Are you open to ideas from outside the US?
There are pretty, and there are interesting, steamers in other places.

Brush up on your spelling and punctuation would be a good start Justin.
