An admirable project Chris. I would love to see some big Alco's. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for those brutes.
Cheers,
Fred
P.S. I'm working on your request as we speak...errr...write.
Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.....
and I promise not to tell anyone
Additional: I Figured I would take some sage advice I read in the GE U boat thread. Alco used a lot of the same components so as a first time project, I could use it for additional projects and get a few under my belt without having to make a slew of parts.....

the last image is what i can remember as a kid i never saw them in anything else except ore pellet drags...man were they LOUD and shook the ground and blacked out the sun in a cloud of exhaust. i also thought the more ORANGE shade of the cnw colors looked better than the pale yellow like in the 2nd image with the safety stripe dash's along the frames/walkways and of course a beacon on the top .
