Considering all the negative comments out there about 2 motor drive setups (as in China drives) as opposed to single motor horizontal drives, how did these perform? I've never heard/seen anyone comment on the Wolfer drive. Obviously it was done to improve running. I guess the question is, why were two motors better back then and not now, and are you staying with the two motor drive to stay true to the original spirit of the loco?

I remember seeing Ed Duddy (very nice man) with them over at York. Any idea if anyone took over the line after Ed passed?

Not a well known fact, but Ed was the guy behind ME code 148 flex. The earlier pieces were stamped "House of Duddy" on the plastic ties.

I don't recall CB doing these locos....was the body done by Alco?

Looking forward to more on your project.
