Custom painted Athearn FA unit, nice runner.

Beautiful locos. Rode behind an FP40H from Springfield, MA to LA, CA back
around '85.

My LOTW is "The Black Shark." I used to see Tyco catalogs, as a kid, and think the sharknose diesel looked pretty slick, but it was not practical at the time for me to buy one. Much later, I found a ROCO shark at a swap meet, reasonably cheap. It needed some work. There was no glazing in the windshield. The headlight was just a hole and the fuel tank was missing. With a little attention, all that was corrected.
So why call it by the ominous name? There used to be a radio drama called, "Jack Armstrong, the all American Boy." Jack had an uncle, Jim Fairfield who had a sailing ship named the Spindrift and had adventures all over the world. In one episode the villain was the evil Dr. Shupato and he had a diesel boat named The Black Shark.
Dr. Shupato's Black Shark tore out its bottom on a reef, but this Black Shark occasionally comes in handy pulling a manifest freight.
Carpe Manana!

My LOTW is this 1776 F7, with the plastic MU-2 drive. This is my favorite TYCO engine.

I know RP will be salivating over those Sharks. Reminds me of
Alco's failed entry into the diesel market: "The Black Maria."
Using surplus WWII submarine engines, they had spectacular
failures during their demonstration runs.
