Probably the SD9. An Athearn SD9 in SP paint was the first US loco I bought back in 2001, and it's proved to be one of the best of my fleet. From new, it showed none of the Athearn growling noises and will creep slowly enough to count the splines on the driveshafts. I have yet to add extra detail parts though I have every intention of doing so when I find a supplier. This loco is used on everything from commuter services to switching on my layout - I also intend to buy a few of the new Walthers SP Bilevels when they arrive at my LHS to run with it as I hear the SP used their SD9s in commuter service?
