Are the GEs behaving themselves well other than the TM issues with winter? <br /> <br />I see that a number of the GP35Rs are offered for sale (at some ridiculously high prices...) <br /> <br />LC <br />[/quote]your right LC , I can't believe how much their asking for these engines, I do know that many parts have been striped from them. Another of my responsibilitys is getting some of the CDAC Geeps up and running for a pending sale. <br />The GEs are full of unique problems, today I spent troubleshooting a wheelslip problem on a C30-7 and found that the engine has a mix of gear ratio's. I ajusted the sensitivity of the CMR system and sent the engine to work, problems like this are going to take a while to work out, hopefully when we change the trucks we install all the same gears, the wheels are nearing the end anyhow. <br />Randy <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Interesting. Last time I was up there I remember a pretty substantial deadline. I imagine that is what you are referring to. Also, I do remember the GP35Rs as looking pretty much in the "ridden hard, put away wet" stages. Some iffy wheels and just generally looking scruffy. The BAR guys were actually siphoning fuel from dead units... <br /> <br />The transfer table was cool and the drop table was interesting. I was amazed that they still had boilermakers and a blacksmith on premises as well. <br /> <br />LC
