[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Modelcar</i> <br /><br />....Ed, it's hard to say...but I don't believe it was any pictured in your post.....Some features I might remember were:...2 sets of trucks at both ends...probably 2 axles each.....Possible "chamfer" in the body at the top along the sides...perhaps 45 degrees and I seem to remember of lots of grill work {venting}, along the sides of the bodies....and the units seem to be massive in size.....For some reason the discription: hydraulic or gas turbine stuck in my mind at the time... <br />Now for pricing of components...as you note in your last post.....One only has to purchase a few double cardon joints to realize they are not cheap....!! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Just for the sake of completeness, the ALCO Diesel Hydraulic DH643's shown here are massive with abundant side venting. <br /> <br />http://espee.railfan.net/spdh-643.html <br /> <br />Probably not the ones you are thinking of though
