Who's here is an ALCOholic ?

[Johnnypopper]

Modeling the PRR, I have a few Alcos:  an FA-FB-FA trio, a PA-PB duo, an RSD-15, and an S-4 switcher.  I also have quite a few EMD's, FM's, and of course, Baldwin sharks.  Hard to say which is my favorite, though.

...Please Post your Alco/MLW photos & builds with the rest of us ALCOholics. 

Since I model the B&O in the Cleveland area of the early 1970's, there weren't many Alcos left in active service - except for some S-2's and S-4's which I have, but haven't photographed.  But having my own fantasy line allows me to run whatever I want, like these RS3's:

Most of my roster is Alco, RS-1,2 and 3's plus I just bought an RS-36.  I also belong to the Alco Historical Society

 Wait, that's a thing? Where do I sign up?

Also, dieselwise, the Green Bay and Western was all-Alco, which is one of the reasons they're awesome.

 

Most of the GB&W's diesel roster has been produce at some point in HO.  I have a few of them.

Alco made some really nice locomotives. LIRR was a big Alco customer...

Funny you should mention that.  I was just looking through some keepsakes and found an 8x10 B&W of my father-in-law walking through a yard with lots of Century locos around him.  It was probably taken in the early 1960s.  He was a manager in the Morris Park locomotive shop, so all those Alcos were his babies.

Unfortunately, the only Alcos on my layout are a PA-PB, a Niagara, and display models of a Hudson and a Big Boy.
