I like GE more than EMD. Why? I don´t know! Possible: My first model was a GE! When I start with US models and railroads in the mid 90´s the GE´s (last -8 and -9) looks very modern, the EMD´s looks older. Okay, for myself. Now after years I realized that I like, and unlike, only railroads! Today my biggest modelfleet are the EMD SD70´s in many variations (spartan cab (a Conrail unit - one of five eastcoast models I have), M-cab, I-cab (ATSF SD75I) and the MAC`s! And I have absolute more EMD´s then GE´s! Each manufactor has his history. And when a manufactor was gone it becomes often a gloryous shine. Alco is such a firm - as a builder of steamengines, Alco is my No.1 Bigboy, Challenger, FEF-3, yeah! - as a Dieselbuilder: No thanks! I have some UP Alco diesel but Alco isn´t such a glory for me! So I agree with the article in th January issue of Trains magazine. The Also PA´s are overrated!!! It´s a nice locomotive but succesful? And I don´t like the Pennsy paintschemes. I hate the new EMD cab with that new nose. But when there´s a good model of a UP GE SD90AC-II I will buy this too! This engine is part of the modern UP history! And when I model the modern UP history this model is a must. But I have no GP7 or GP9! Okay this are models and in 1:1 I like each train that climbs Tehachapi or Cajon! Powered with GE or EMD. It´s impressive and wonderful But the sound of a twocycle SD40 of 45 engine that starts a train in a siding at the UP line above Cajon was better san the four cicle 7FDL16 in a GE! This only the sound!
