Sorry guy! I now understand the joke. I edited my previous reply to you as well.

In these hard times, we need all the humor we can get!

Cheers!

Well, I'm not forgiving him AntonioFP45 (hang with me on this Gear Driven Steam or they'll think I'm a coward), he insulted my thread, modern diesel units and all the other members that left replies about them, then came back cussing and all that. I bet if my mom was standing here you wouldn't talk like that you rotten old bully!.[:p]

Love EMD SD90s, in UP, of course, because of their size and power, I also like the F45s and SD45s of the Montana Rail Link an awful lot. [8D]

Mine would be the SD70ACe and SD70M-2. I can't wait to see the 70M-2's in NS paint!

SD75Is (CN I'm a Canuk),AC4400 and off topic (just on sheer volume) SD40. SD40-2, GP38, GP38-2 (lets not bring up steam engines). I love seeing the SD75I's when I'm walking the dog at 4:30 am and GP38s doing industrial switching while I go to work at 7:30 pm. Allright I'm hopeless!!!

Well, I'm not sure if it was made before 90 or not, but the B&P GP-38 that cruises my store gets my vote. IT's my favorite runner at the club as well. (Now I just have to get sound in it.)

None. To my eye, there is a direct inverse relationship between diesel locomotive age and beauty: the more recently its been built, the uglier it is.
