Don't know (but am contacting some co-workers for the skinny) what exactly these NS units are. Without the diesel/generator/compressor/cooling system, they'd be comparative lightweights - must be some ballast weight somewhere to retain their tractive power - fuel tank sounds good, but will try to get an answer. Here's one near Holidaysburg, Pa. on a local taken by a friend - http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.ph...058&nseq=0 - no radiator grilles or fans (but the dynamic brake fan still seems to be aboard), leading a GP-40. Let you know what I find out. Bob C.
