Suggestions for Locomotives?

[Amalynn]

Exo, the SW1500 isn't a bad choice. The short line may have gotten a deal on it or are looking to switch over to 645 EMDs - unless the SW1500 is a poor running locomotive.

The SW1500 is very popular with some short lines and urban switching railroads since they are a all around engine that can be used on the road between industrial parks.

The SW1500 that I already have also has never ran particularly well. It was great for me as a new-ish modeler, but it's very old and not in the best shape. Since it is superfluous anyways, I am just not using it, though I am keeping it as a sentimental thing, since it was a gift from an old friend who has since passed.
