I’ve always had a soft spot for those early second gen diesels especially the classic EMD GP series. There’s something about their no-nonsense design and the raw sounds they made pulling long freights through gritty yard scenes. They bring a ton of character to a layout.
Lately, though, I’ve been exploring modern freight too GEVOs and SD70s with their clean lines and massive presence. DCC sound really brings them to life!
Would love to see what era others are modeling. Steam fans show off your switchers and heavy haulers! Diesel lovers let’s see those lash-ups.
Looking forward to your photos and stories. Freight power deserves the spotlight!
