NS sd70m-2 ,sd70m ,sd40-2 ,gp38&50 ,c39-8 c40-9 es40dc & of corse the c40-9w!
For road use and throttle response I prefer to run the sd40-2 they load when i want them to load, genreal switching I love the gp38-2 when kicking cars no turbo lag when i go to throttle 8 the gp38-2 is going their right now. Those are my prefs being a engineer.

It's between the Milwaukee road SD10, and the SD40 series locomotives. I just like to hear that 567 diesel engine.

An SD24 had the most memorable sound.

No contest whatsoever. A Lehigh Valley PA1, looked great, sounded wonderful, smoked like crazy when it was pulling hard, and it had excellent riding qualities, thanks to their GSC A1A-A1A trucks.
Favorite hood unit? A Lehigh Valley C420. In the original grey and yellow "yellowjacket scheme" Hands down. But, the dark red scheme on 406 was nice, as was the bright red on 410..
