[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Doggy GE IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE LOOK AT THE SD40-2 THEY'ED LASTED 30 YEARS COMPARDE TO THE C30-7 WHICH LASTED ABOUT 20 [/quote] Dear Doggy, I don't want to start bashing people, but please don't judge a company on one product a long time ago. You wouldn't judge humanity based on one person, now would you? I admit, the C30-7 was pretty much a doosy, but I agree with antbro: let's give respect where respect is due. I like GE's and Alco's, but EMD makes nice products too (especially those E-units...it puts a smile on my face to just think about them[:)]). And so did Baldwin (although their passenger diesels didn't do very well), F-M, Lima (and B-L-H), Cooke, Davenport, Porter, Vulcan, Rogers, MLW, and everyone else (including DWB--Daniel's Work Bench[:)]). Now, I admit that being a railfan I am somewhat biased--GE's DASH-9's and such look better in my photos, but that's not the only reason I like them. I have cited numerous quotes from more learned authorities than me, and I can tell BaltACD that DASH-9's sound pretty nice to me under load on Tehachapi Loop (or Marias Pass for that matter). And let us not forget one other, very important thing--companies' products evolve (and hopefully improve) over time, so what GE (or EMD) made 30 years ago is probably much different than what they make today. You all know what I'm going to say about steam, so I'll skip the size six letters and Lime Green color this time. Most respectfully yours, Daniel
