No, you're right, it's horrible.....the only thing that saves it is the fact that it still resembles a disel locomotive!!

Hah, they lowered the nose and added ditchlights to it, or did this come from the factory like that?

"character". ;D Pictures of GE export models can be found here: www.locopage.net/ge.htmThe Chinese loco in question is factory, pics of this (and other GE contestants from Asia) can be found here: www.locopage.net/asia-pics.htm

I remember seeing those sitting in Wesleyville at the Erie GE Plant. The road foreman at NS said they flew them out in those huge Russian transports.

I remember seeing those sitting in Wesleyville at the Erie GE Plant. So this one was rebuilt like this in the US? The road foreman at NS said they flew them out in those huge Russian transports. Ah yes, the AN-124:s.
