A&M ALCO RS-32 #30The A&M (Arkansas and Missouri) did not exist prior to 1985. I've been to Springdale, Arkansas to see the A&M in action, and just wanted a model of one of their Alcos. When it became available, I couldn't resist. #30 is seen working the Cargill mill at Sedalia on this bright sunny day on the former MV&P layout.WalthersInactive

EMD SD70Ace #1201In order to meet stricter diesel locomotive emissions standards imposed by EPA Tier II regulations, EMD modified the SD70MAC to create the SD70ACe and SD70M-2. The SD70Ace is powered by a 16-cylinder, 4300-horsepower diesel engine. On the SD70M-2, the prime mover drives an alternator and produces AC current that is rectified to DC current, which powers the traction motors. On the SD70ACe, the DC current is then "chopped" back into AC to power the traction motors.
This locomotive is in my display case. It is too modern to run routinely on the Eagle River Division. Seen here photographed at South Park Yard.
