2014 N Scale Locomotive of the Year

[Jamesn320]

Rules barely apply here, so basically feel free to vote for anything that first hit the shelves in 2014 (even if simply a new paint scheme on an older model).

Do kits count? 

If they do I vote for the RT-624 from, well me!

James, even though I don't have one I'm going to vote for your kit too.  I think this is a glimpse of the future in the present.  Who makes an adjustable length powered chassis ready for the trucks and RP shell of your choice?   

By the way, does that pic show the model equipped with the etched brass handrails?

Hi Jesse,

Thanks and yes it does.  It has etched brass handrails, end rails, air hoses, sun visors and Penssy train phone antenna.

I will have to vote for the FVM SD70ACe it runs great, looks great and the trucks don't fall apart like the Kato Version did. While it doesn't pull like the older Katos it dose just as well as new ones. I bought 14 of them this year to add to my fleet of FVM GEVOs. I can't wait for FVM to do more locomtives.
