| Post subject: | Alco maintenance manuals |
I've started a project to scan & post maintenance manuals for Alcos. Purpose is to provide anyone in preservation needing one free access. They are posted at the Fallen Flags site: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/manual/manual.html So far, I've posted maintenance for the RS11/RSD12/RS18; and the S1/S2/RS1. Also, truck maintenance, and the manual on 244 engine governors. The rest will get posted when I get them scanned. |

The AAR Type "B" ALCO and GE truck manuals are also on the Fallen Flags site, a true resource for all locomotive interests. |

Rich- GSC 4 motor swing bolster truck is the proper name of that truck. |

You wouldn't happen to have a wiring diagram for a T6, would you? The Roanoke Chapter, NRHS needs to do some work on the wiring in N&W #41 and our copy of the diagram has gone missing. |

NH0401, yes, so I've been told now, twice. It just doesn't "lock in" as such, so I'm sorry to be non-specific. I am cutting wooden part pieces right now, and will have them cast in 1/8th scale to build a working truck for an ALCO C420 I am fabricating in my shop. Try to find an "exploded drawing" of such a thing. Working from photo collections and some ALCO and GE maintenance manuals. Cute! |

see enclosed. The only drawing I've seen (which shows up in some old Loco Cycs) has the standard three views (top, plan and end) with some appropriate sections.

I actually collected these two shots for the project. I don't have the standard three drawing views you speak of. BTW, can you give an update on your namesake locomotive? |

I'm looking for operating, service, and parts manuals for an RS-1 with a 539 engine. Downloadable pdf files if possible. Thanks. Al |
