SD40-2, hands down best loco (steam or diesel) ever made.

OF the new ones listed, the SD40-2 wins hands down - it's Americas loco, sorta like Mom, Apple pie, and the Braves ! At 3,947 sold, the real railroads thought so, too - and they are still going strong !!

Of the old ones not listed, you can't beat an E6A in RI Rocket scheme !!!

Gag, that is all modern and post modern utilitarian looking ugly stuff. In that context it would have to be the most cost efficient for the railroad to use - AC4400CW?

Okay, THIS is my favorite loco.

Diesel? They haven't arrived yet. Don't plan on them arriving, either.
