How about that trio of late model RS-18's that ran on INCO ore trains in northern Manitoba from the late 60's to the mid 80's.

Welcome Mark. Although I believe this section of the board is mainly for models.
Those INCO units are long gone from INCO, although two were sold to the Ontario Southland Railway and became 183/184.
Hmmm, to model one of them one would need a non-dynamic brake RS10 or RS18, and that wide (passenger-style?) fuel tank. The high nose would have to be chopped and numberboards cut into it/headlights relocated. Cab front filled with styrene and windows cut into it, bells and horn added. Some plow and carbody details would round it off.

These are "late" RS-18 units, among the last to be built. They have the high-low doors making them closer to a RS-32 but the long hood is slightly longer. They are very similar to the newest of BCOL's RS-18 units.
