Exactly. Plus, it is easier to put a chip in a GP35 (my future plans for my GP35s).
Exohead. Your choices of locomotion are good choices. As a modeler, you want to make sure that you have reliable equipment.
If I had a small room for a short line layout, I would be running a terminal type layout with 539 Alcos for two reasons:
1 - 539 Alcos (S series switchers and RS-1s) we're relatively inexpensive and readily available.
2 - Atlas S series switchers and RS-1s are great running locomotives
If you don't want to go to the trouble of installing ditch lights and all of that fun stuff, then modelling late 70s to the early 90s would allow you to run the same equipment.
