ALCO S4 4 or 8 wheel drive??

[Stevelewis]

Hi
I am thinking of  buying an Alco S4 with sound as  a  possible  chassis for an 0n30 conversion
Can anyone tell me  if the loco has  4  wheel or 8 wheel drive? ( The specification only  mentions GEAR TOWER in the singular)

Also any opinions on the  sound?

Thanks  Steve

The diagram page clearly shows, all wheels driven. I just looked.

The S4 also has two flywheels.
