Mine..... Strasburg #90!!!!!
but I still love the diesals including the acelas and amtrak trains, Mass Coastal train, NJT

Have to disagree. I'd say it was the most beautiful electric locomotive in the world. I mean, just look at it:

Some more detail here: http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/history/9985658.Keeping_track_of_change_during_a_fast_moving_age/

It's a question of taste. I'd say there are more beautiful locos out there..

How can people call that ugly......?

The same way people can call shays and cab forwards ugly. They just open their mouth and say it.

These are some of my other favorites:

I always liked this paint scheme the CB&Q had in the late 60's/early 70's. They also had some GP40's and U28C's in this paint scheme (as far as I know).

Sure wish these locomotives were in trainz, though

Baldwin Locomotive Works DT-6-6-2000

46 examples were built between 1946 and 1950. The primary user was the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway, who owned 27 of them (They replaced the EJ&E's steam fleet in 1949). The rest were owned by the Santa Fe, the "Cotton Belt", the DSS&A/Soo Line, the Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern and the Trona Railway.

In the late 1950s and 1960s, the EJ&E rebuilt most of them with new EMD hoods and engines.

They're usually referred to simply as "center cabs" though apparently, the rebuilt engines were nicknamed "SW2400s". The original 1946 prototype, EJ&E #100, was called the "Golden Goose" and the preserved engine is called the "Blue Dragon".

One example, MN&S #21 survives at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.

Unfortunately, it's suffered some pretty significant engine trouble, so the chances of it running again don't look too good...

AmazingMike modeled one of the rebuilt ones a long time ago...

Whitepass also modeled the very similar (but unique in its own right) Lima-Hamilton "LT-2400" engine.

Without a doubt my favorite semi-streamlined engine is the one and only SP 4449. Non-streamlined comes to ATSF 3751 and UP 844. Freight engines falls to #3985 and Strasburg #90. Fully streamlined engines goes to #611 and the NYC Dreyfuss Hudson 4-6-4s. Mallet engines falls to a few, the NP Z-6, UP 3985, C&O H-8 2-6-6-6, and the one and only N&W 1218.

 

[jordon412]

If you like 611 and 1218, where does 4501 come in? Hey, without 4501, you wouldn't have 611 and 1218 running.

The MLW M-420 #642
this particular one stared in Atomic Train along side

MLW M-420 #644

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

Well, although it's a fairly decent bump, I'm still gonna post.

Can you guess?

Or do I need to show you the pushers? :hehe:

BTW, that train has an HP/T of 0.9, and is about to hit a 3.7% grade...
