It is a BL2, built by EMD, but it's not 2250HP - guess again, Alex.

I knew some of that, but some I didn't.  2 out of 8 indoors - understandable 'cause they're sooooo big!  :o

Well, here's mine - Model, Manufacture, and Horsepower?

I'd have to say my favorite locomotive is the UP 4-6-6-4 Challenger, because of its "shock & awe" power - a total weight of 1,071,000!  :o

My guess is an ICRR Terminal electric Bo-Bo+Bo-Bo at the Museum of Transport?

Well said, atlanticcentral!  ;D I agree with you - the best diesels are the simplest ones.  EMD used variants of the 567 prime mover for 25 years, then they modified it into the 645.  :o I'm into antique tractors also, and they're PAINFULLY simple, but they just won't quit!  No fancy computers or anything, just the bare essentials to get the job done.

I guess you're right - it would help if it was a dual axle instead of dual wheel.

I like the idea of an SD70ACe, but I'd have to suggest some steam; a 2-6-0 or a 2-8-2.

I'm 15.  I'm from Salem, MO, and I do some modeling and railfanning.  So far I've started 3 HO layouts, none finished yet.  I've photographed BNSF trains on the Thayer and Cuba subs.
