1992 sounds about right for the date. EMD actually did three of these. They were based on GP-9, GP-7, provided by the "buyer", and were upgraded with engine work and a new carbody. The rumor I heard is that EMDwanted $700,000.00 TO $800,000.00,
plus the original GP- ", for these locos, and the whole idea fell apart. THe BN actually ended up with the three "prototypes".
Catt,
Is there any way you could post photos of the three you built.
In the relm of different and interesting diesels, the BL20-2, and the SDL-39 share the top of the list .
To all those who " played the game", thanks.
Pete
