Reply to "Let's see your ALCO FA's"

Love seeing all these.  

I had the Amtrak set from the mid to late 1970s - a gift that my mom picked out.  Still have it, and have always loved how it looked, but less crazy about how it ran - between the MPC wobble and the cars' lights flickering, it was disappointing.  Then I got the kids a Williams Alco set and it had the heavy die cast frame, the cars were much closer to the 2400 series post war cars in terms of detail, heft and quality, and that set was a favorite of theirs and remains a favorite of mine.  Then I also bought some scale Williams Alco FA-2s that GGG converted to DCS PS-2 and those are another fantastic set.  But I really love seeing all these Alcos, I think they are all classics and one of the nicest designs.  Love seeing the photos here.  Great thread!
