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 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

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 like odd ball stuff like beeps and CF7s. I got a pic on my website of a MKT rs3 cab and short hood on a gp7 hood unit. I have an old rs3 and a gp7, been thinking on bashin' one together.

Favorite Diesel Locomotive to Model?
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 12:32 AM
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)?
