At present, locomotives are early diesels from many of the
mainstream manufacturers, including Kato, Atlas, Athearn, Trix,
and Broadway Limited.
The fleet presently consists of one or more of the following:
Alco RS1, Alco RS3, EMD GP7, EMD F7 A&B, Baldwin RF16
“Sharknose,” FM H-24-66 (Train Master), Alco 4-6-4 Hudson,
Alco 2-8-2 Mikado.
Nearly all of the locomotives are equipped with sound, many
coming from the manufacturer already equipped, but I have
converted the older ones using DCC-based sound decoders
with speakers.
