Depends what you are intending it to haul, although Freightliner have alot of varied traffic these days, but their locos are split between Heavhaul and Intermodal, and don't mix much.

Probably best to go for EWS then, although you could go mad and go for a DRS one!

Freightliner Heavy Haul - Very striking, and lovely livery.

EWS - Still nice, but duller and the whole fleet have the older headlights.

It's your choice, but I'd rather have a Freightliner one! :)
