Favorite Locomotive

Mine would have to be any 4 axle EMD Locomotive. <br /> <br /> My personal favorite model is my newest one. An Athearn GP 35 in Chessie System Livery. Nice flywheel drive in it and even though she is definitely a growler she runs smooth as silk on the rails and starts and stops beautifully. <br /> <br /> My other Geeps are made by Life Like (Non P2K) and they May go faster but they also do not have as fine a control as the Athearn at the same voltages. They are also truck mounted motors which is not so hot. <br /> <br /> My Second favorite would have to be the EMD F Units. In our collection here we have an ancient Athearn B&O F7 that although she runs hotter than blazes will still out pull almost any other engine on the tracks other than the new Athearn I have. She is definitely on the rebuild list once the layout is up and operational.
