Me and my family are NY City subway fans. The world's largest system was hurting until Mr. David Gunn (the namesake of this great diesel locomotive) spent five years as the Transit Head. He brought that system out of the ashes and back to prominence. He went on to be the President of Amtrak. He did the same in injecting a new sense of purpose to the employees and critics alike. He was politicized by a contingent of "Congress Haters" who had their own motives in having him removed. Mr. Gunn (who was my Grandfather and Father's Boss at the transit bureau) is still regarded as the person who revived subway systems. I met Dave Gunn and spoke to him while he worked at Amtrak. He's a legend by those who worked under him. It is a great thing Kato did by putting his name to this engine that served Amtrak well during it's heyday. I look at the state of events in the Amtrak organization and can only shake my head in the way it's falling off into oblivion due it its current changes in policy. So, I will look at this running marvel and give a salute and plaudits to whom it's named after. I hope others will remember this item , Run it as a charter item on your layout and treat it like gold!Read full review
