Hi all.  I'm considering purchasing a double cab diesel engine like the EP-5.  What else is out there aside from the EP-5 and Little Joe made by Lionel or MTH?  I'd prefer it have a E/F-unit / Alco type nose instead of the European double cabs that typically have flat fronted cabs.  Thanks!

Diesels? I thought these were electrics.... Am I mistaken?

D'oh!  I think most double cabs were.

Heljan make a lovely Deltic in O. Sadly it's for 2 rail, but I'm sure it could be modified.

They also make a NOHAB, which is pretty much a double ended F unit built in Sweden.

 

I found these pictures of a couple of Jersey Central double cabbed diesels, but I haven't found any more details of them.
