I am in the planning stages of my first serious attempt at a model railroad layout and have finally decided to loosely model the railroad that I grew up watching. The now abandoned Oregon & Northwestern RR. Here is my dilemna. When the railroad was in operation 1934 -1984 they used two types of locos, Baldwin AS-616's & Alco S-3's, I am not particularly fond of the S-3 and the 616 is in very limited supply, so I thought I would try modeling this flag as if it had never fallen. Now to the meat of the question. At what point do you think that this RR would have replaced or upgraded these loco's and what type do you think would have been the most obvious choice? I know that there wer probably several different directions that they could have gone but I want opinions on what you guys think would have been the most likely choices. Thank you in advance.
