G&E or EMD ?

[Anonymous]

I went EMD !
I just think the GP-30 was the coolest[8D] looking engine out !

[Anonymous]

You didn't mention Alcos, Baldwins or Fairbanks Morse. I like EMD F units and am also partial to GP-7s, and 9s. Also like Alco RS-1, 3 and 11s. I don't have any GEs and probably should.

I have mostly EMD on my layout. No G&E but I do have some GE locomotives as well[:o)][;)]

[Anonymous]

What is G&E? The locomotive builder is GE as in General Electric. Does G&E stand for General AND Electric?

[Anonymous]

No GE or EMD favorites for me!
I am an Alco-haulic![:D]

[Anonymous]

About 50/50 EMD and GE.

[Anonymous]

About 50/50 EMD and Alco. As for favorites: EMD: GP35/SD35/40/45. Alco: RS3's.

EMD by far!!!

Favorite models would be 1. F-units, and 2. SD70MAC's.

I am also partial to some Alco's and F-M's, but I don't roster any.

I'm dissappointed in EMD's latest styling on the SD70ACe, though.[:(]

[Anonymous]

I'm an Alco fan but my favorite model is the GP38-2 and the SD45

[CP5415]

Even though most of my fleet consists of EMD units, it's slowly being taken over by Alco's.
It may sound weird though, my favourite modern unit is GE's AC4400.
My fave Classic era unit is still the PA & the most units on my layout are SD40-2's

[espeefoamer]

My favorite builder is ALCo, but most of my model locos are EMD.My only non-EMD locos are:
Athearn PA
AthearnU30C,Dash 9 44CW
Bachman Spectrum H-16-44,Athearn H-24-66
ALCO CSS&SB Little Joe( Hey, everybody needs to splurge once in a while)[:)]!
Athearn S12

[cjcrescent]

G&E??? EMD???
Those them new fangled eeternal combusting die-ease-els. Nope, ain't seeen or heerd em' sincin we dun hung tha' EMD feller frum da bridge at Blu Girt Swamp.....

Actually my answer is none of the above. I don't do diesels on the layout. I do own a few but they run only on the club layout. Three of the five are early ALCOS.

[orsonroy]

Mostly Lima, with some Baldwins, Alcos, and Brooks thrown in for fun...

[ClinchValleySD40]

EMD

SD40

[n2mopac]

Boy, people here sure love the GE's, eh? (tee hee) I went EMD because I like them more asthetically. My altime favorite is the GP9, though it doesn't really fit my era and there are none on my layout. I do own one that I pull out and run for fun when no "real modelers" are looking.

I've got more ALCO's than anything else. I've got a UP FEF-3 4-8-4 and a UP 4-6-6-4 (on order). Then i've got a UP Baldwin 4-8-2, a UP Baldwin 0-6-0. The only diesel (for now) is an EMD [:D] SP SD7.

I can't believe no one mentioned ALCO or Baldwin Steamers!

[bogp40]

EMD

"F" Units all phases

GP-40 and -2s

[Anonymous]

As you refrain from acknowledging steam era locomotive builders as such, I can not cast a vote. Diesels are fine for those that like them, but steam was, is and forever will be KING (at least on my layout).

[Anonymous]

Baldwin Steam!

[darth9x9]

EMD all the way... from GP7s to SD50s (where my time period ends).

[tutaenui]

If I had to vote for a diseasal I would go for some of the early English Electric export units, particularly the double cab units that went to NZ.

[GDRMCo]

I voted for other as we have different builders in QLD. My favorite model would be 1: 2800 Class 2: 4000 Class 3: 3100/3200 Class 4: SD70ACe ( I just love the new SD70ACe's, if you do not like them I respect your opinion so you should respect mine).
