Great Northern's "Hussel Mussel"

[npr284]

Hi,

Does anyone know the Kuid or Username of the person who built this loco?

Think it was Great Northern that had this famous loco.

I've been trying to rebuild my layout after a computer crash that left me a little short of assets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

GN used the Hussle Muscle on, I think, SD45's. I remember seeing a loco with "Hussle Muscle" on it in Tacoma, WA in the early 70's, but not posative it was an SD45. Hope this helps.

This will answer your question.

Reread your post: Guess I didn't answer your question, your looking for the user or kuid. I'll pay closer attention next time.

IIRC, you can find the Hustle Muscle at the DLS (yes, it is an SD45) by Phil_C.

Thank You All for the info and THANKS for the designer, "Phil_C". I'm starting to remember where everything came from! The enginespec for this particular loco, (SD45) runs really well. I use it for the other "45's" I have. But the "HM" is one sharp loco!
