Hello,
does someone know a site or even has pictures of a 251 prime mover? I have an undecorated RS-27 which I want to display as deadline unit with open doors. I will have to scratch build the 251 completely as I think there is no H0 scale model available. But I would need a bunch of pictures to get an idea how it should look like. Can someone help, my search so far was with very little success.
Thanks,

it does, of course! It shows pretty nice how the engine sits in the loco - ok, for my Rs-27 I will have to build a 16 cylinder version, and it won't be too detailed - but whatever turns out will kinda look like a 16-251 prime mover - I'm not yet sure if i'll have the loco with removed hood like this picture or just some hatches open ... I think the ALCo's don't have that large double doors like the EMD engines (see the title picture of this forum), that's why I think that an open hatch only wouldn't let one see enough...
not sure how it would look best?

ok - I just checked on my model rs-27, and the hatches are not double that's not much fun then, i think I will try a model with lifted hood then ...
