ATSF also used the German manufactured engines. They used a hydraulic powered motoring system, one reason why they were not used for as long a time. I, too, have always wished they would be produced in O scale/gauge modeling.

None of my Santa Fe books even indicate that Santa Fe ever tested a Krausse-Maffei locomotive, let alone owned one.
SP and D&RGW are the only roads that bought K-M's and even the Rio Grande trio eventually went to the SP.
However, in February 1963, the New York Central tested two Rio Grande K-M's for 19 days.
