<p><font size="3">Hi guys...great response, and I think the mystery is solved! The thing I'm the most thrown by, however, is my guess at the TIME involved. I wasn't "a kid" anymore, in 1975, when Atlas seems to have released that SD35, at $25, which fits the description to a tee. (Well, maybe still a kid AT HEART--which model railroading can help bring about!)</font></p><p> </p><p><font size="3">And it "feels" quite right, that it was a big house like the "AHC" someone above remembers, who made a DRAWING of that diesel, for their ads, quite possibly with the fuel tanks depicted as even shorter than a photo would have had it.</font> </p><p> </p><p><font size="3">I knew I could count on you guys here to solve this. How many of you would pore through those tiny ads, back when it didn't strain our eyes so much, DROOLING over the stuff shown? </font></p><p> </p><p><font size="3">Now maybe we should examine the psychology of how the mere sight of a diesel silhouette drawing can elicit what could be mistaken as a SEXUAL response? I find the same thing happens when viewing the dull green of a Pullman standard passenger car, or a well-weathered but still readable Southern Pacific boxcar, the dull brown background broken by "caution yellow" signs like "DF" in a flying wing icon.</font></p><p> </p><p><font size="3"> Could I have been conceived in a FREIGHT YARD in 1946???</font><br /> </p>
