Hey everyone! Today I'd like to continue a really old thread that hasn't seen much action since 2019. I'd like to ask a simple question to you, what is your favorite locomotive type or class? It can be anything, from a monstrous EMD DDA35 to a diminutive German Kof switcher, the powerful Soviet VL10 Electric to a Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacific. Anything you like, post it here!
Here's the guidelines you need to follow:
When you post a locomotive type, state the builder or builders (ex. EMD, ALCo/GE, etc.), the full factory designation or commonly accepted term (ex. SD70MAC (no C45ACCTE or similar please!)) and the country of origin in parenthesis.
Some of my favorites include:
EMD SD80MAC (USA)
GE B40-8 (USA)
ALCo/GE MILW EF1 (USA)
ALCo PA-Series (USA)
EMD 60 Series (USA)
GMD GF6C (Canada)
ALCo RS11 (USA)
MLW M420W (Canada)
ASEA SJ X2000 (Sweden)
ASEA Rc Series (Sweden)
And the list goes on. If you would like to provide pictures along with your list, go ahead!
Enjoy!
