Mikeym Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm sure It's off a long scrapped class 40 an the drive would have been connected to the traction motor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Trainshed Terry Posted April 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2013 I must agree with you as the axle box looks like it could be from the class 44,45 and 46 locomotives. Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gary H Posted April 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2013 I agree, either class 40 or a peak. It looks like the cover plate that usually had Timken cast into it has been replaced for a crude made up piece of steel plate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
