I had heard that some of the diesel hydraulics weren't that bad.  They just weren't going to fit in and weren't compatible with other locos.  I might be mistaken.  Also, weren't hydraulics commonplace in other countries?  If I recall they used an engine to run a hydraulic system that turned a generator.  Seems a lot of work when you can just hook the engine up to said generator directly as is typical.

Since SwampCreekRR isn't going, I'll make an entry.

What am I?
On my maiden run before being put in regular survice I impressed the railroads officials by producing a drawbar horsepower of more than twice the 4-6-4 class, and more than even the 4-8-4 locomotives I was replacing.  Later, on the same run because the engineer wasn't familiar with how I loaded down, I stalled on the routes only 3.5% grade with 1182 tons of train behind me.  Everyone thought they were going to have to call for a helper unit, but I impressed them again by digging in (producing 108,000 lbs of drawbar pull) and getting the train moving to 16mph by the top of the hill.  

What the heck happened to my answer to this question and the intervening stuff in between as I narrowed it down?

Anyhow, the answer is Snata Fe 51 class ALCO PA

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

That was correct, but your answer was in the other name the locomotive thread.  Which I think we should let this one die, so post your question over there.
