I must go on the record (AGAIN) as a steam fan. There is nothing on the railroad that has more character than a steam engine. NOTHING. <br /> <br />After steam then I would go with the first generation diesels. They were interesting. Some that should have been more popular actually were not. The trainmaster is one that comes to mind. <br /> <br />Then the second generation diesels. The Alco Centuries were very good engines. The railroads that had them and maintained them as they should have been had very good success with them. As time passed they showed what a good loco they could be. Given the fact that you can see them still in service after 40 some years proves how good they really were. <br /> <br />The new engines of today just don't have the same appeal as engines of the past did. Or maybe I am just becoming an old fouggy. [:p]
