nah..its totally GE..the most obvious GE feature is that "U-boat flare" at the end of the long hood..and besides that, it just has that overall GE look to it.
absolutely 100% no doubt its a GE, but exactly what model I dont know.

Im going to guess its a GE C30-7 in China, although its probably some funky variant model of the C30-7..probably built in Erie, PA!

You got it!! GE C36-7, better known as ND5 Phase 2 in China. (Phase 1 units had 4-piece front windows.)

try this on for size!

;D ;D ;D ;D



No. 3838 (4-6-6-4 Challenger) boasted an engine weight of 584,950 pounds. Her 255 pounds per square inch of boiler pressure drove 69-inch Boxpok disc drivers through 22x32-inch cylinders. She was next-to-last of of a class of 40 similar locomotives delivered to the Union Pacific by American Locomotive Company in 1936-37.

If'm I'm right, I'll post a picture within 20 minutes.

Yes, but MLW and CLC were two different Canadian builders. That's like a Danish modeler saying GE and EMD are the same.

Yes, 6 were "Cab" type and 15 were "Hood" type, and both types used the same model number "ML4000"

Some of the hood types also were operated in Brazil.

OK, here's a steam locomotive. Yes, it was from Lima. But was it built?
Yes or No?
