gm 600

Do you mean GM's Electromotive Division (EMD) switchers rated at 600hp?

SC (1935-1939) SW (1936-1939) SW1 (1939-1953) SW600 (1954-1962)

Varney made an SW1. The SW600 looked very much like later switchers, so any current SW model could be a stand-in, or a basis for redetailing to match a given locomotive. The major visible differences were in the cab, exhaust stacks, and lights.

The switcher is a turret cab, semi streamlined/styleized. If you want, I can send you a picture of it in an email. I presume that kirkwood40.blogsdpot.ca is your address.

No, it's my blog.

Post it on alt.binaries.pictures.rail

about 3/4 of the way down the page. They were 800 hp export units, but look very American.

Small diesel-hydraulic units were tried by GMD but, they were unable to develop a market for them. The biggest were two 800 HP units (A1811 9/1959, A1812 10/1959) which were tested for some weeks on the CPR Galt Sub. between Lambton and Woodstock on local freight trains 73 and 74.

I get 404 Not Found

Per 2nd Diesel Spotter's Guide (Pinkepank, 1973), these were GMDH-1, two with 600hp, and two with 800hp.

AFAIK, no HO models of these locomotives have ever been produced.

Found it.

I see where OP ended the URL with .htmb. That "b" messed it up. :-)

Sorry, I just copied the web site from the website bar. Thanks all for the information. I wonder if I could get BLI interested in making it.

:-)

Not likely. Cost structure of introducing a new model is prohibitive without a large pre-order market. Suppose 1,000 pre-orders, and if that's the actual market, I estimate the item would cost a minimum of $1,000 or more.

Have a good day,

That poofing noise was my bubble bursting. Oh well . . . .
