My favorite would have to be ALCo's C-630 with the 6-axle Hi-AD trucks, that is one mean/burley but cool lookin' locomotive. [:D][8D][;)] Next would come the Bombardier (ALCo/MLW sucessor) 3 ft. gauge RSD-35W's and the RSD-35's (actually the RSD-35 was built by MLW) built for the White Pass & Yukon Route RR in Alaska. RSD-35's are better known by their specification; DL535E, RSD-35's (or DL535E's) have standard cabs, and RSD-35W's have a Canadian style safety cab. 10 RSD-35's (spec. DL535E) were built from 5/69-12/71 (original order of 8, but 2 were destroyed in a roundhouse fire, so 2 more were ordered to replace them). 4 RSD-35W's (spec. DL535E also) were built by BBD in 1982. <br />However, the WP&YR went bankrupt and defunct in 1982, so they sat in Montreal until 1990 when 2 were purchased by US Gypsum (USG), they bought the 111 and the 113 (units were WP&YR 111-114) they wrecked the 113 and bought the 112 to replace the 113. In 1988 the WP&YR reopened as a tourist line, serving cruise ship passengers, they finally bought the 114. All surviving units are in service. All DL535E's were powered with a 6cyl. 251C rated at 1200hp. Just a little history lesson for ya' all [:p][;)][:)]. And third is the classic and ever beautiful ALCo PA locomotives (I like 'em all PA-1, PA-2, PA-3). <br />Also I've included a computer generated drawing I did, to illustrate WP&YR RSD-35W #114. http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/protodraw/images/DL-535Epainted.GIF [:)][:D][8D][;)] Sorry for the long message, sometimes I just get carried away.
