I've bought my first piece of equipment.
Williams SD45 EL Engine
I'm starting to put together a nursery layout paying tribute to my grandfather in law's 45 years of service on the EL lines in Akro Ohio. I found this engine which after searching through of my info looks to be one he most likely worked on. It'll be on display for the time being. Hopefully it won't be to much longer befire it's pulling some cars around a track at the top of the room.

Sorry should have specified. It's manufactured by Williams (which I believe is actually by bachmann?)
The engine itself is an EMD SD-45 that EL used from about 1966 to current (which is conrail) at least this is to my understanding from researching.
Hmmm I was under the impression this was that place. Oops!
