I should add she's alive on the UP...still...And it's 2009! (But she's a long way from home.)

That's not ugly! Just cause it's boxy dosen't men it dosen't look good. Besides anything in Rio Grande looks good.

Frisco,

She even looks great in that damn UP paint they have her in now.  Still dirty..Love the D&RGW!

Matt,
I have 2 Rio Grande GP35, they are great looking locomotives. One of my DVDs has a segment of 17 Rio Grande GP35/40 pulling Tennessee Pass.

My favorites?  For steam it would be my 4 Spectrum Connies with some Roundhouse vintage Rio Grande "Bumble Bees" and SP 2-6-0 running a close second and third.

My favorite diesels are two AC4400 with Genesis drives, one with a Tsunami.  Not enough OOOs in "smooth" to describe them. I can't fit enough cars on my layout to slow them down, awesome power. I plan to get two more next trip to Caboose Hobbies.

My main theme is UP for the coal trains, but my favorite railroad will always be Rio Grande. I recently picked up a couple sets of 50' Overlands in Rio Grande yellow.
