I like repowered locomotives and this L&N S4 is just cool looking. Here is a link: www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=303569&nseq=0Do you think the radiator fan looks like it is an EMD fan? Also, does anybody have any other links to photos of this unit? I'm planning on building this unit so I would like your input.

Richard, That easily could be an EMD fan. Those units were re-powered with 12-cylinder, 1200hp prime movers scavenged from ex-MP E-units. However, I would lean more towards something along the lines of a circular Alco-style fan like what you would see on a FA2 or RS3.

Thanks for help guys. I thought it might be an Alco fan from picture, but it just seems to tall and not as large in diameter as a RS or FA fan; that was the reason I was leaning toward an EMD one. Guess I'll use modelers license on it. Once again, thanks.
