I am new to model railroading. I have decided that I would like to model the transistion era from steam to diesel. I am more interested in the diesel era, mainly F7s and some of the earlier diesel engines. I want to model the UP and Santa Fe railroads either in Southwest CA or possibly a more northern area. Which makes are going to look the most realistic in engines? I would like to stay away from having to purchase high dollar engines, but I am not afraid of detailing a lower cost unit if I can get accurate and favorable results. Thanks in advance for any help.
