Favorite GE locomotive?

I like those too. I think some of those became C36-7i and went to Estonia. They look really nice, and the Estonian railroaders love running them.

My favorite is the D940C, or the C39-8 with the dash 2 radiators. Can you model those radiators?

Do you mean the C39-8E? I think that engine is a virtual twin to the C40-8.

My favourite GE would probably be the ES40DC/ES44AC. Bumps and boxes all over in true GE fashion.

Mine?

U36C, U33C or C32-8

nothing like 8-n-sand

U30, U33, U36 B and C engines are my GE favorites.

U23B, U30C & U33C - Preferably in the D&H lightining stripe.

I also like the B39-8E

The turbines of Course!!!

AC4400CW
AC6000CW
GE 44 Tonner
GE 45 Tonner w/ Side Rods
P32ACDM
P42DC
ES44AC looks much better than what the comepetition has to offer (SD70ACe looks hideous)

I am confused where people get the model name B39-8E, C39-8E, C42-8, and C42-8W from. These are not their proper model names so why call them that? I know that some Chicago & North Western C40-8s were rated at 4,150 horse power, but we do not call the 3,750 horse power CSX C36-7s, C38-7s.

GE-101

I guess that's the name, considering most of them had 1,000,000 miles on them (I think there were 75 units in total, 30 rated at 8,500hp, the rest at 4,800hp) I'm surprised there isn't more information out there about them.

In any event, one of the most impressive looking locos out there. The 1-30 models had turbines up-rated to 10,000hp.

Very attractive cab/nose/face/whatever-you-call-it on those units. Distinctive, and yet has certain similarities to EMD's and Alco's streamlined designs.

Mine are the E2b and the E33
