[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by 45144 Respect Ed, I can't argue with the guys that run the things - there had to be a reason why they get a good press. Mind you - Pound to a penny someone replies with the exact opposite view. I'm just a railfan and EMD have killed the interest over here - basically 85% of freight haulage is in the hands of 1 class (which says something for the reliability) but it does it so damn efficiently - Yawn All the best and keep 'the land of the free' free. 45144 [/quote] Luckily EMD doesn't build locomotives for how they look, sound or appear on film. Like Ed said give me EMD any old day. There is no comparison they are FAR more reliable. GEs are cheaper mass produced junk. The Dash 9s aren't as bad as the earlier units, but the computer will still drive you nuts. Oh, one other thing, I had a chance to speak with a couple of your "Driver's" here in the USA on vacation and they seemed to like the Class 66s they were running just fine. had a lot fewer failures than much of the older stuff over there. Also, it is my understanding that fingerprinting and photographing is for folks from countries requiring a visa for entry into the U.S. As far as I'm aware Great Britain is not such a country so perhaps you should check your facts before spouting anti-American garbage. Having lost good friends on 9-11 you'll get no sympathy from me even if you are printed and photographed. LC
