    All,

    This Locomotive trucks side frames have changed. I modified a Pair of MP- MODEL POWER SD45 Truck Frames . Please Note the Truck design which appears on my drawing of the J2 CAT. When finished it will be Lettered For Nypano Railroad - Wikipedia.

    So a GE locomotive with EMD trucks? Sounds interesting...

    Massey,
    No, not a GE. As for the Drawing... all EMD SD50 with some ALCO C636 GRILLS the Fans on top at the rear are repurposed DB Fans from 3 Scrapped SD50'S which have beed nearly destroyed. The Trucks are ALCO RSD15 with Modified SD Truck Frames. And is one of my Late Mother's Locomotive Designs.

    I picked up on the drawing being an EMD SD50 or 60. The engine model looked like an early U-boat GE engine like a U-33C or something like that. I didn't know that ALCO made snub nosed locos, most of the ones I am used to seeing have really long noses.

    I think the LV had some short nosed ALCOs. Possibly the "white elephants".

    The L. V. Had a variety of ALCO CENTURY SERIES of Locomotives, however my late Mother any I were looking at ALCO’s C636 Series of locomotives which PC - PENN CENTRAL had .
