Just a few questions..........................
Posted by Wyonate on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 8:52 PM
I'm thinking about getting into Garden RR.  But what I want to know, is there any SD70MACs, AC4400s, SD60Ms, or any newer style locos available?
High horsepower moves me!!!

No.  Aristo and USA are the two main companies that make mainline diesels.  The newest style is a Dash 9, I think, I am more into narrow gauge steam though.  Do a google search for Aristo-Craft Trains and/or USA Trains, that should give you better information on the more modern mainline diesels.

There are  limited big locos available but I would suspect they will be made eventually - If you are thinking of going into large locos use the biggest radius track you can get and invest in a big power supply especially if double heading is contemplated
