QUOTE: Originally posted by rick bonfiglio diesels are boring, their wheels just go round, and nothing much else happens. steam, on the other hand, has wiggly side rods, and all kinds of wheels in different sizes, and detail parts all over that i don't even recognize, and pipes, and bells, and open cabs you can see in, etc., etc... also, it seems like since the advent of diesel, the train industry has been in steady decline. this should be obvious for all to see.
QUOTE: Originally posted by tmcc man I am going both ways. I like the sound of the ALCo diesels, and I like the different types of them. I love the whistles of the steamers, and also all of the movement of the siderods and so forth. Alstom, have you ever heard of the Daylight, the N&W J, and the American Freedom Train?? They all have color, don't they????
