The SD50-2 is a CSX rebuilt SD50 derated to 3,000HP (like an SD40-2).

WSOR 3801,
There's no doubt about it that the 40-2's are going to be around longer than the 49's, but they have had a different roll the whole time they have been up here. The 49's where set up special for hauling coal south to port. They did allot of slow go lugging and they had a special call. They could creep when everyone else would have shut down. They just had that special under-dog look to them.
I do like the new paint although I would have loved to see them back in black! Thank goodness this is a personal favorite response. If we all had the same favorite, we would agree with ME....ah alright then, Thanks for the fun!!

It's gotta be the Alaska Railroads GP-49's. These babies could pull anything they put behind them, They had lower gearing, stubby powerful looks, operated in the coldest rairloading places in America and had a plow that only EMD could love.
Right behind that would be Heber Valley ex;UP 618. She rides well, works hard, and is easy to steam. She only gave me grief one time on the climb out of Provo Canyon when some kids had covered the track with weeds. Nearly sucked the fire right off the grates and out the stack, but we recovered. She did me well.

1) The CPR AC4400 in the diesel engines-the nudge that got me into HO modeling again
2) The DM&IR 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones in steam-just awesome
3) The german BR 51, 2-10-0 Decapod in steam-seen them operate as a kid
4) The german E94 in electric power-breakthrough in electric power technology and beautiful
To sum it all up the AC4400 rule.

My favorite locomotive is the one that I get from the roundhouse in running condition, with all parts correctly in place, with a good ruinning diesel engine, problem free traction motors and main generator and auxilliary generator, recently cleaned toilet facilities, working lights and radio, safe comfortable seats, a good AAR control stand, working A/C, good fitting doors and windows and round wheels and that pulls my train all day without issue, complaints or breaking down.
I think that about covers it...

Can't pick just one!
CPR SD40-2s, AC4400's, 2816 & .........
D&H PA's & SD45's & Geeps & .......
