Your right, perhaps I was a little Broad... <br /> <br />I kind of used the "meter stick to messure my thumb nail " approach... <br /> <br />Alco's made Ok locomotives overall, I'm not going to say they were anyhting to jump up in glourios song about, but some did what thyey wanted to do, and thats what we want. <br /> <br />When you fire one of those up, and it blows up or the wheels fall off, Then, my friend, we have a problem, because that was not the reason it was intended for. <br /> <br />Alcos, pushed and pulled, which is a knock-oof definiton of what a locomotive should do, they didn't do anyhting specacular, they didn't cook anyone breakfast in the morning, or read anyone a bed time story at night. <br /> <br />But - If they were so good, where is the company right now? <br /> <br />GE- Still makes Locomotives <br /> <br />EMD - STILL makes locomotives, winner of the Biggest locomotive award, the "DD" series, Howevre, I still say those are highly impractical. <br /> <br />ALCO- What was their production like last year? because For some reason, possibly a computer or a human error, i can't find the production Stats for 2003. <br /> <br />
