C,B&Q E5, Just gorgeous. To my knowledge there has never been an HO scale C,B & Q E5 other than Hallmark Brass. Am I right?

ATSF F7’s, tho overviewed I still love the warbonnet in passenger and freight paint jobs.

My favorite locomotive is the one that I get from the roundhouse in running condition, with all parts correctly in place, with a good ruinning diesel engine, problem free traction motors and main generator and auxilliary generator, recently cleaned toilet facilities, working lights and radio, safe comfortable seats, a good AAR control stand, working A/C, good fitting doors and windows and round wheels and that pulls my train all day without issue, complaints or breaking down.

I think that about covers it…

  1. The CPR AC4400 in the diesel engines-the nudge that got me into HO modeling again

  2. The DM&IR 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones in steam-just awesome

  3. The german BR 51, 2-10-0 Decapod in steam-seen them operate as a kid

  4. The german E94 in electric power-breakthrough in electric power technology and beautiful

To sum it all up the AC4400 rule.

It’s gotta be the Alaska Railroads GP-49’s. These babies could pull anything they put behind them, They had lower gearing, stubby powerful looks, operated in the coldest rairloading places in America and had a plow that only EMD could love.

Right behind that would be Heber Valley ex;UP 618. She rides well, works hard, and is easy to steam. She only gave me grief one time on the climb out of Provo Canyon when some kids had covered the track with weeds. Nearly sucked the fire right off the grates and out the stack, but we recovered. She did me well.

How about the ARR GP40-2s? Have most of the goodies of the GP49s, and look pretty sharp in the new paint scheme.



The inside is pretty nice, too, after repainting.
Looks like the GP49s got returned, but the GP40-2s are still at work.
