Of all the diesel locomotive models ever produced in real world railroading, which would be your favorite model to run on your home layout (even if it hasn't yet been produced in your scale)?

F-units and GP-7's. I model the late 40's and early 50's and am very fortunate to have good models available to choose from.

I AM HAPPY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE OTHER MODLERS WHO HAVE A
HEART LOVE FOR THE GP-7-9s AND 38 and 38-2s. I AM 69 YEARS OLD AND HAVE
RETURNED TO MODEL "HO" HOBBY AFTER AN ABSENSE OF ABOUT 30 YEARS.
MY MODEL ERA COVERS A SPAN FROM THE 1920S to presesnt. I AM IN THE
PROCESS OF BUILDING A 16 X 24 HO LAYOUT. I "RUN" ABOUT 12 DIFFERENT
RAIL LINES ON MY LAYOUT. THIS IS TRULY AN ENJOYABLE HOBBY....TJB1033

Not a diesel,
but I would love to see the new Bombardier turbine locomotive produced. It looks enough like an accella that it might be fun to run a trainset with an accella like consist in fantasy colors or Amtrack. without having to build an entire catenary infrastructure.

I'd love to see an Alco C-415 in Ho, if Kato or the people at LLP2K would do one, it is such an ugly duckling, I would buy several.
