I use some very unprototypical locos - my two bilevel commuter sets (one of Walthers C&NW cars and the other of Athearn Metrolink cars) use a Proto 1k Erie-Built in C&NW paint and an Athearn PA in SF Warbonnet paint respectively. I may be swapping the PA round with a Milwaukee road FP7 - have just managed to find some of the ER Models examples at a ludicrously cheap price from a hobby store over here (list price was £80, they have them for £30). Anyone have any experience of these? <br /> <br />I've also been known to use an SP SD9 (Athearn), and a NS high-nose GP50 (Bachmann) on passenger work, as well as a pair of Athearn F7As (The Lehigh Valley SE set from a few years ago - one powered, one dummy, have fitted the Walthers detail kit). As my line is a fictional museum, I tend to use any loco that was used in any form of passenger service - planning to buy a couple of the new Walthers SP bilevel cars to run with my SD9 when they are available. My excuse for situations like the Erie-Built running with bilevels (these need HEP, which Erie-Builts didn't have) is that the museum bought the loco as a hulk and re-engined it, fitting HEP at the same time!
