Hi all,

Would any of you know of or have in your possession well dimensioned diagrams and or blueprints of the EMD Flexicoil B trucks with 9' wheelbase found under some EMD switchers (like this: http://bdrry.com/Locomotives/BDRV%20120 ... %20900.jpg )
and under a similar truck under the EMD FL-9 ( http://rrpicturearchives.net/pictures/36432/2012.JPG )?

Additionally would any of you have blueprints or well dimensioned diagrams of the regular EMD switcher truck with 8' wheelbase (some call it the AAR switcher truck.) If so would you kindly share a scan, or a copy.

Lastly I understand the switcher B trucks are approximately 19 tons with GE motors, does anyone have numbers on these trucks with EMD motors and the same question for the Flexicoil truck. Thanks.

Thanks in advance.

Luther Brefo
