I have a limited number of PRR locos and cars but the Tuscan 5 stripe scheme on that Bombardier ALP-46 echoes the one GG1 that I have. Thanks for posting this.

The PRR 5 stripe paint scheme is one of my favorites, but somehow I just can't wrap my head around an ALP-46 painted up like a GG1.

Transit had a “family day” yesterday. That is where they unveiled the engines. There is an ALP45 with Erie Lackawanna scheme too.
The GP40 looks great. It has been in the shop for quite a while as it has mechanical issues. The ALP46 really wears the stripes well.
The CNJ GP9 is an exNJT locomotive that was donated to the URHS and restored by them.

Fun! I would buy an MTH PRR Bombardier 5-Stripe and I could see them making it.

Those heritage units are beautiful. Quite a few transit lines are moving into new locomotive power. I certainly wish the manufacturers would start tooling up to bring them to our layouts. Personally, my layout is moving more and more to model current lines and themes. Take a look at these beauties.

The modern engines are indeed beautiful in their own way. Truely works of modern engineering and design. It would be fun to see more of them in O Gauge form.
