Great thread, all LGB products are Top Box Quality, fun to run, and are made to enjoy and last a lifetime. My LGB train is a Sante Fe GP30 (I think) and runs above the doors and through the walls in my train room. It’s a fun to run train and seeing it come through the wall is a crowd pleaser...

Larry, that's actually an Alco diesel. LGB's model is a superb representation of it. It's also a stump puller, from what I have read. I've never owned one as my garden railway is mostly a field railway themed layout. But that doesn't mean the big diesel don't catch my interest now and then.

"It's also a stump puller" - There are videos on YouTube of it pulling a huge number of cars! IMO, LGB engines are the best pullers.
