I love for them to make one that had all the parts of the engine have steam coming out of them then just blowdown.
Dynamo, because it runs continuously when the engine is running. The blowdown effect, like the cylinder steam, can be pretty hard to see under some lighting conditions. It is cool when it is working properly.
Personally, I would prefer the blowdown visual effect, IF IT IS DONE PROPERLY. That way the operator can periodically activate the blowdown, just as on real locomotives.
Dynamo. One of the many reasons I love the VL Challengers.

Actually when its done right, nothing beats cylinder steam.

Yes, I definitely agree, especially when added to any MTH steam locomotive model, since MTH has the appropriate realistic sound of the open cylinder cocks.
