All the replys are correct except there were no "D" truck U50's, B+B only, then C trucks. Most of them had 1 million road miles when they were retired from service (courtesy my friend at the UP Mechanical Shop). I am so crazy for this model I am building a brass U50 B+B #31 in Garden Scale (1:29). It ends up being 33" long, 4" wide, 8" tall and 28 lbs. I have a traction motor for each axle (8 axles) but only draws 1.5 amps at 14 volts. Any and all correspondence is welcome (curious folks, mostly). <br />bluejay@aracnet.com <br /> <br />
