    Have to love those new oddball loco's that companies think of..

    Welcome to Tractive Power Corporation

    It seems like for every fictitious model we model railroaders create from our scraps, the more the 1:1 rebuilders have created such a model or something similar.

    I can see the picture but I'm not sure it is real. Maybe I'm just too cynical.

    OK. That link worked. It sure looks to be real. Funky little beast, for certain.

    The pic and company are real, they've been around for a while, this isn't their first kick at the can. I live in North Vancouver and if you look at the address you will see it is North Van. But the picture looks like it was taken in Squamish BC which is relatively close to North Van, where the Royal Hudson Steam Excursion train used to go to and very close to the train museum there.

    Rick-

    Perhaps you could find out a little more about this, for us?

    Definitely a use for an SD truck never envisioned by EMD, like a child wearing daddy's boots.

    Looks like half an Alco C415 riding on an SD truck.

    I'll give my opinion here as well, it looks like a baby SW1500. I am quite sure that one modeling in either N-SCALE,ho-SCALE,S-SCALE could use a SD40 snoot and a SD powers truck.

    This is a private project underway inside the former BC Rail LRC at Squamish. It is a few tracks over from the business car NORTHERN SUMMIT which I have been measuring. it is exactly what it looks like - a switcher on a SD40-2 truck.

    Any ideas about where will it be used?
