(...) Oh, there are so many fantastic locomotives and great paint jobs (I love the color explosion that came with the streamliners). Heck, I even like the chunky F40. Probably my favorite is the E5, the last of the one-off E units. Shiny chrome, (...) (13 years ago, 3-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Might be a good candidate for exploring PF. I'll vouch for Tony when he said the XL motors can pull a Buick. You could make a B unit and wouldn't even have to change anything in the consist. Benn (13 years ago, 3-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)
