Hi Guys,
A buddy over here took this picture and would like to know what it is .... i think it may be GM from what i can fine out about it on the net but no positive identification.

Absolutely no idea, but several attempts with Google yielded:

which is apparently a model of a Lima product. Subsequent searches were not fruitful...

Close, but no cigar! As you can see from
these pictures, it's actually a Co+Co arrangement.
Still looking for more info...

This photo
http://www.53a-pix.co.uk/picture/Cracoe-RY-110802.jpg identifies a very similar (or the same) engine as a Hunslet Co-Co shunter (switcher).
Hunslet is a British loco builder, it seems:

http://www.hunsletengine.com. Builds industrial locomotives.
They have a new diesel hydraulic engine coming out now:

Smile,
Stein
