ajzend posted:I agree with the GG1 enthusiasts. However, I have seen posted from time to time people that really dislike it. Of course, it is in the eyes of the beholder, but I fail to see what's not to like about its beautiful lines.
But, it's like music. Some people's favorite music is just noise to others.
Maybe we could analyze a posting comparing people's most beautiful engine preferences to what those people would consider the most beautiful women. Would a guy liking a GG1 like different curves on a women than a guy liking box cabs? So as to not be sexist we could have a topic for women too. Though, they may be more interested in the couplers (relationships) than the build of the item (yes, yes, yes, this is a sexist comment too).

Alan, I have shared similar thoughts in other threads comparing the beauty of different trains to the beauty of different music and women. It's a good thing that we all h as ce different preferences.
My favorite electrics are the NH EP5 in McGuiness livery, and the 5 stripe Pennsy GG1 in both Tuscan red Brunswick green. I think those 3 Postwar locomotives are equally great. Seeing them run from overhead catenary, which I regard as the ultimate in model railroading, is awesome. Arnold
