    At 3300hp, it should have been quite the powerful puller.

    Aren't those the "Hi-Ad" trucks? Looks odd on it.

    Yes, and with 825 horses per axle, I can't imagine AAR trucks getting the power down.

    That is the same length as a C-630, right? For some reason it looks shorter to me. Maybe it's because most or all C-630s I've seen photos of have horizontal stripes painted on the sides.

    acptulsa, and All ,

    My Theory for ALCO'S 433-H was Based on the C430 Not the C630.

    Yeah, that's what I meant. My brain wasn't confused; it was my fingers that weren't with the program.

    All-

    Out of curiosity here how would these Diesel - Hydraulic Locomotives look if built with ALCO as the primary manufacturer? https://github.com/MagnumMacKiver/RLCPT2/wiki/C433-H and the C-650-H / DH -650. Please see List . How would these figure into this topic on DH - Diesel Hydraulic Locomotives? Of course, I would Like to see what you come up with as a full set of drawings. Let you’re imagination run .. Reminder here it must be ALCO only!
