Out of the some 35 locomotives that I own, I have one Alco S2, one RS3 and a an A-B-A set of PA's-PB. Although I am partial to EMD equipment, I own several GE 2nd generation diesels as well.
I like Alcos from standard....
to narrowgauge.

The only Alco units I have are me PA/PB set. This is only because I think they are more attractive than the EMD E Units.
.
I might add an RS1, 2, or 3 at some point.
My diesel roster is 80% EMD. 80% of the EMD locomotives are F units.

Living the dream.
If you model SP&S, you'll have Alcos on your layout, whether you love them or not.
I do. And I do.

BroadwayLion Alco made some really nice locomotives. LIRR was a big Alco customer. but... They don't make subway cars so they are scarce on the layout of LION. ROAR

Gonna have to reasearch their old roster. Yeah,those smoky behemoths wouldn't fair well in subways nor would crew & passengers or the rats for that matter.

Do you love Alco's/MLW locomotives ? Do you run nothing but Alco's on your layout ? Mostly Alco's ?
Currently working on a T6 for my scrap yard. Gotta firgure out how to post photos to the forum.
