Built this in 1979 when I was just getting my first HO layout together.The prototype was a kit bash by a Mexican railroad to repair a wreck damaged Alco locomotive.Other thanthat it was totally freelanced and admittedly rather crude.When I switched over to N scale in the mid 1990s I thought I trashed this monster,but while doing some cleaning in the basement storage room I found it.
In tried searching for proto pictures tonight but it has been so long I do not remember the name of the railroad.At the present time it is pure TYCO but I am thinking of replacing the cab part with a Athearn blue box part.Most likely it will require a custom chassis.but I figure I can take my time and just work on it every now and then .Anyway here's a pic.

I really hate to get rid of those classy couplers but I think I will survive their loss. :mrgreen:
