Looks good, but I really like the COG unit a bit better.

That is one fine looking locomotive.  I think that and the Lehigh Valley unit might be top of the crop, in my humble opinion.  I imagine everyone has a regional preference.

Regional preference is a good choice of words.  My preferences so far are NKP, Erie and Wabash; in that order.  Not too surprising when you consider that I grew up about two blocks from the NKP and the CWI (Erie and Wabash) main lines.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
