Mine is a Sd 45-2t. The one I wish I could buy would be the CEFX 9373.
Since locomotives come in several flavors and nationalities:
US locos:
- Electric - PRR GG-1
- Steam - N&W J
- Diesel - say WHAT???
JNR locos:
- Electric - ED16 class 1-Bo+Bo-1 1500vdc catenary boxcab.
- Steam - C58 class dual-service 2-6-2.
- Diesel - DD50 class B-2-B diesel-hydraulic.
Check out the C58 at:

Very favorite, with one foot in each camp:
Kiso Forest Railway 0-4-2T, Baldwin-built, modified with an industrial cyclone stack bigger than the boiler! KFR #6, now at the California Railroad Museum, is an example, but has some American modifications (cowcatcher pilot, classification lights) never seen in Japan.
Chuck (modeling Central Japan in September, 1964 - owns models of all of the above)
SD28
SD70
SD80MAC
C415
C420
C424
NO GE’s make the list
Favorite Locomotive???
Nothing beats a good high nose GP9
You need to tag those locomotives to CONRAIL…[tup]
I know I already said SD38-2s and SDM for my favorites, but that is far from all I like. Some more I like are SD45s, IC rebuilt GP10s (I really miss Iowa Interstate’s GP10s), F45s/FP45s, SD40-2s and just about any EMD from SD7 to SD70 standard cab.
