Hello, Has anyone successfully modeled SCL slugs for their layout? I would be interested in seeing pictures of your work and reading about the details. Most of the prototype photos I have found look to be converted switchers. Maybe an ALCO unit or two. I am contemplating a slug project with an old C420 that I have in the parts bin. Thanks. Red.
The MATEs were supposed to be purpose built by GE for SCL for their U36B's. MATE was an acronym for Motors for Added Tractive Effort. From what I remember, they were built on U boat frames. Here's a link to a Mother and MATE:http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=462597
