Please show me the first locomotive you owned.

That Hustler in the lower-right was the first locomotive that I could call my very own. Circa 1961.

Let's continue with first locomotives.

My first locomotives, in 1955, were an A-B-B-A set of Globe F7 diesels, all custom painted (by my father) in Santa Fe "Warbonnet" colours.  One of the B-units was the only one powered, with one Lindsey motorised-truck. 
When I repainted them, quite a few years ago, I put the powered truck in one of the A-units, as shown below...

They got sold, along with most of my other diesels, when I backdated my layout to the late '30s era.

Wayne

Please carry on with more "first locos".
