My favourite must be the old U30C/C30-7 locos

They were popular back then, crews would prefer to sit in a U30C or C30-7 instead of a loud SD40.

Sadly they are all but gone completely by now. None preserved (that i know of) and no trainz models of any quality.

I also like alcos.

I have a weak spot for the sound of theese big diesel engines.

 

[dnutter]

Mine would have to be........
The EMD SD70M or SD70M2

Or this

-Conrail45

it SD70MAC

 

[dnutter]

What is that?An SD70M, ACE, I, or what?

For me, it's the Alco FA series:

Here's some information on the type, from the pages of Wikipedia:

The ALCO FA was a family of B-B diesel locomotives designed to haul freight trains. The locomotives were built by a partnership of ALCO and GE in Schenectady, New York, between January 1946 and May 1959. They were of a cab unit design, and both cab-equipped lead (A unit) FA and cabless booster (B unit) FB models were built. A dual passenger-freight version, the FPA/FPB, was also offered. It was equipped with a steam generator for heating passenger cars.
Externally, the FA and FB models looked very similar to the ALCO PA models produced in the same period. Both the FA and PA models were styled by GE's Ray Patten. They shared many of the same characteristics both aesthetically and mechanically. It was the locomotive's mechanical qualities (the ALCO 244V12 prime mover) and newer locomotive models from both General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) and General Electric (the partnership with ALCO was dissolved in 1953) that ultimately led to the retirement of the locomotive model from revenue service. Several examples of FAs and FBs have been preserved in railroad museums, a few of them in operational states on such lines as the Grand Canyon Railway and the Napa Valley Wine Train.

Here is my favourite traincar, this is a BDe 4/4'. It rolls on the Jura's railways.

Cheers

That Y6 model is awesome. I really wish there was a version of it for TRS so I could recreate some more O. Winston Link pics.

 

[boleamj]

I prefer the Spanish version

We do have C30-7s and U30Cs in Trainz ...

Some of these available in the UP scheme too...

 

[freightcar2]

Cookiemae, where did you get the C30-7's and UC30's? :udrool:

What is with the bad patch-job?:hehe:

 

[Therock]

We do have C30-7s and U30Cs in Trainz

Yea, we do

Still needs some junk on the pilot and plow...

*edit* Oh right, forgot to contribute to the thread:

GP40X's. Any Railroad, SP preferred.

Uh oh I posted an MSTS screenshot

 

[strench707]

Very nice, I'm still slightly torn towards MSTS but Trainz is just so fun, its good to see some good SP content.

More than likely it's something that either Therock or ns37 are working on...
