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... Happy Railroading
I couldn't pass up on the Rio Grande version:
The diesel's LGB origin (I believe) was with the White Pass & Yukon 1200hp narrow gauge ALCO-MLW diesel that they purchased between 1969 and 1971, numbers 101 thru 110. They made a beautiful green and yellow version, which I liked best. As we LGB loyalist know, LGB made quite the selection of WP&Y products. Later LGB expanded the use of the WP&Y ALCO diesel to some American railroads even though they were standard gauge.
