Dear dougal, <br />I agree!!!! The new nose on the SD70ACe's looks worse than, well, a low GP9 nose, and a lot worse than a U25-B (whose nose nobody can rave about). As for the Evolution series, I thought those looked pretty much like DASH-9's (which look pretty good). But hey--why don't they take a lesson from the past, and make a locomotive resemble an RS-3 or something that looked really good. Of course, carbody diesels woule be hard to switch with, but those RS-3's and SD-9's look nice. Just stick a modern engine and equipment inside it, and voila!!! railfans and railroaders are happy! <br /> <br />Dear Alaskaman: we know that railroads don't care about looks (although they used to, resulting in the Warbonnet, Daylight, Armour Yellow, and a lot of other pretty things), but if you let us railfans complain here, the railroaders don't have to hear it in person [:)]. <br /> <br />Of course, General Electric's P42 takes the cake for aesthetically challenged (other than that, GE diesels look very nice--at least to me. Then again, I am a <i>railfan</i>...). <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel
