My LOTW will be my Mantua Santa Fe GP20. I just recieved this unit the other day, and needless to say, I am impressed with it.
This unit has a removable Dynamic Brake Fan with it, and features one of the best model train motors ever built, the screw type MU-2.
This unit looks to be one that will have many more years of operation ahead of it.

Cool to see a Hooterville. Nifty old GP. A real classic! Nice to know its days of revenue service will be long in coming!
Some great additions to the Armadilloville fleet. Many pleasant memories of taking the VIA from Mississauga to Toronto behind an F. Sweet running Model Power unit.
And an Armadilloville Central unit graces the rails. Beautiful handpainted Armadilloville design in 1/87th, hand painted. I believe this to be a Marx piece.

Believe it or not, those were actually both bachmann. F9 and an FT. The Via Rail looks to be in a much happier home now, and I can assume it will see many hours of run time. Plus the parts units for it are cheap as dirt, probably made in the millions.

Nice locos, so far, all! Let's keep it goin!
AHM Chessie System FP45, or really F45. I just love these AHM FP45's - even if most of the roads they produced it in, never owned one.
