Question re new Bachmann Diesel

[jwb]

Does anyone know if CP Rail actually ever used or uses this type of Diesel? It's a GEU33B. Or is it one of those cases where the model train manufacturer simply decided to paint a model in the paint scheme of a railroad that never used it?

Thanks,
Rob

Ahhh, I see, a U33B! This is definitely old production, with a pancake motor. Not too many railroads had these -- offhand, I think Rock Island, SCL, Auto Train, and Penn Central. Certainly not CP. If you can get it to run, more power to you, but I'd say bluebox Athearn will always be a somewhat better bet than a Bachmann this old.
