Speaker/cab best suited to a Trainwreck clone?

Well The title pretty much says it.
I just picked one up and don't really have a designated cab. I do have an incoming Marshall 2x12" 1966A w/ G12T-75's in it. What is your opinion of that match. Or should I be looking for more for an open oval back or something?
any advice is appreciated.

peace Kirk

Here's a thread I did with a Tonic Vapour which is an EL34 Express.

This is with Scumback M75s in a 4X12 slant cab..

The Scumbacks and the Fane AXAs are my favorites.

Bumping this thread. I'd be interested to hear more recommendations.

This wouldn't apply to an Express, but JM said he likes his Rockets and Liverpools with alnicos, whether they be Blues or the best being Vox Silver Bells.

Cool. Ist there a higher-wattage alnico that is preferred? I see that Weber Silver Bells can be ordered up to 100W. I'm looking to put together a grab-and-go, 1x12 cab for a Wreck-style amp (Retro Channel RR1), and I'd like the speaker to be able to handle north of, say, 80 watts. It's a 100 watt amp, but I'm not going to ever run it that loud.

Fane makes a 100W AlNiCo, and Weber can make one for you as well. I would say be really careful not to blow that speaker.
