Was that a kit? Or did you scratchbuild? It sure looks too detailed to be the Walthers 567.

It looks great!

The motor is a Brass OMI #3501.1 EMD Prime Mover, the one that goes in the GP/SD35 a 2500hp turbo`ed 567. The Pennsy tried to re-engine a RSD-7`s in hopes of salvaging the locomotive because of the unreliable alco 244. The later RSD-15`s came with the better alco 251. The pennsy used the non-turbo`ed 567 I think but with such good detail of the brass piece I just had to use it...lol
