All , Has anyone here KITBASHED A EMD DD45 ? Two ANYONE here happen to have a ARTICLE ON This particular EMD Locomotive ? This must contain Full Drawings of the DDM45. Tom
I had no idea this existed. Is that a DD35ish truck? Very interesting locomtive. Long nose, med long porch, maybe SD45-2 cooling fan spacing w a SD45 flare? I like it. Looks pretty cool to me.
A little less unique now that GE has taken a turn building for that customer. Those are all one hell of a lot of locomotive for a 39" gauge.
Now I went down a rabbit hole of looking at modern narrow gauge diesels on the internet - I had no idea there were so many!
Good lookin' locomotive! Are those old DD35/DD40 trucks they use, maybe from scrapped Union Pacific locos?
Goodness no. Those rails are only 39" apart. Look how far the side frame rails hang over the truck frames. Besides, when these were built I believe every one of the UP Double D's were still using their trucks every day.
