GDMRCo you continue to leave off "other" on your "polls". For example, among my favorites, you have left out what is probably my favorite (I'm a steam man, myself), and that's the Baldwin Centipede, B-D+D-B units coupled back to back with a drawbar! Very impressive sight

My favorite diesel is the PA-1, closely followed by the F7.

Regarding "F"s in the poll.

I'm assuming you mean the bulldog nosed F units and not the more modern "cowl" units like the F40 and F45.

So in this case I voted for the E-units. Top of the list: The E7.[4:-)] Pulled just about every famous streamliner there was and could hit 100 mph easily! Often seen on films made "back in the day". As a teen, what turned me on to the E7 was watching the opening credits of "The Adventures of Superman". In the color version, you see one coming fast at you in SP Daylight colors with the mars light moving.

I'm glad Broadway LImited is producing this unit in HO.]( though the horn sound is incorrect for some road names). It's a sad trajedy that in the real world, only one E7a is left in existence in a museum somewhere in Pennsylvania. (Altoona?)

I'm sure it would take "tons" of money, but it would be wonderful if she were made operational again![sigh][swg]
