Hi Chaps, Coming from England we have a whole load of fine locos that have been despatched by a fine but very boring EMD (Shed as they're called cos that's what they look like) I've spent some time in the States over the years andhere's my thoughts Looks: U boats and the like knock spots off the equivalent EMD. F's and E's were pretty sweet though as were the F45 and F40C cowl units - shame the F40 is too short for its bulk Engine note - EMD boring whine or with a silencer yawn (We call the 66 a Ying Ying cos thats about all the noise it makes. ) As for the GE's - well a nice throaty diesel note reminiscent of an English Electric (Thats a manufacturer for those that are not aware) back home - sheer listening pleasure Doing the job - all I've read or seen is that they all do the job competently as long as the right unit is on the right job Come on guys - why so anti GE? Its only a boring EMD that its replacing and doing it with a bucketful of panache All the best guys and no offence to anyone - just can't work out why EMD is such a God when their current locos are so soulless (By the way - will you be taking my fingerprints for these heretical statements - it wasn't Britain where the guy carrying bullets got on the plane but it sure was Britain where he was arrested. Don't think I'll be visiting the States while I'm considered a criminal just for being from England. [V] Sorry
