Since lots of you guys are posting pics of your loco's.
I'd thought I'd join the club and do the same. There are some nice looking motive power you guys have.
So...Without further adeau. Here's mine
First of all, just to prove that I just don't have first gen, second gen and heavy modern diesel locos, here something for you steam lovers. Yeah...Ok...I know its only three units....

Athearn BB GP35 : Housatonic #3601. Custom painted and bought at a show a few years ago. Athearn released this in GenRTR last year.
Athearn BB GP35 :CNE #76. Painted by me. (CNE crews call this the Cheapy 35 paint scheme. Management was tight with the wallet back then.)

Commuter Power.
These were painted, and superdetailed by me in CDOT(Connecticut Department Of Transportation) scheme.
Athearn BB P42AC "Genesis": CDOT #35
Athearn Genesis RTR F59PHI: CDOT #435. This unit was originally going to be painted like New Haven's DL 109's. After a couple of paints and repaints finally gave up.

Thanks everyone!
I like the BNSF unit myself. Thats why you don't see it in New Haven retro paint.
Don't worry Ralph. With all the locos PC got from PRR and NYC, a lot of the NH locos were scrapped.
