Thank you for your quick response. A very interesting site with great pictures. Unfortunately, according to the "The Second Diesel Spotters Guide", p.154, this is a 45-ton locomotive. Quoting from the book: "The 44-tonner is a four-motor design with double-reduction gear drive, while the 45-tonner is two-motor, with rods or chain drive connecting the odd axles." While the site refers to it as a 44-ton, several things give it away. The rod drive, the end handrails, and the two pictures from the operating manual shown at the site. Thanks again. Your effort is appreciated. At least I have a new reference page to save. :)
