The "Discontinued" part isn't a problem, so long as you can find the locos you want. Athearn drive units seem pretty robust so long as you grease the gears. I've not got a powered SD40-2, have a dummy one that's very nice though. I would suggest a 4-axle unit at first as most roads have at least one of these - I particularly like the EMD Demonstrator GP60 and the Santa Fe GP50 paint schemes.
