[}:)] [:p] He can answer a question that has a black and white answer--and do a fine job of it. However, your answer cannot be found in any book. This is something that is learned on the job as you well know. Now you have asked the question--so share with us your answer. [:)] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Actually, I don't have an easy answer to the question, that was one of the reasons for asking in the first place. I was thinking it could be the engineering choices that were made or the materials choices (such as type of gaskets etc) but I really don't have "the answer" (although I could give you the standard mechanical department refrain "J-U-N-K"). I figured RailPac with all that advertised Alco expertise would jump right to it. Guess not... <br /> <br />LC[B)]
