Lee What Issue Is This, CONTRIBUTING EDITORS David A. Bontrager David G. Casdorph Anyway? Doug Geiger, MMR Patrick Lawson Jim and Margaret Mansfield o, this isn't the October or November issue. It really is the George Melvin September issue. I'm writing this column on Sunday, NSeptember 29th. All of the materials for this issue are being FedEx'd to the printer to­ Rich Picariello morrow, September 30. That means the issue will probably go in the mail about the 15th Larry J. Puckett of October, and you probably won't be reading this until near the end of October. My Jim Six apologies for any inconvenience caused by this delay. Larry E. Smith, MMR To say that I underestimated the amount of time I would have to spend getting High­ lands Station started up would be a gross understatement. Couple that with preparing ART DIRECTOR our first book, Diesel Modeler's Guide, Vol. J, and offering bound volumes of MRG for Donna Pacheco the first time, and I hope you can appreciate the reasons for the delay. Both the book and the 1995 bound volumes should be shipping before the end of October, which is CIRCULATION I OFFICE MANAGER actually right on schedule. Most of you have been very understanding and supportive during this transition, and Donald R. Strait r appreciate that support. A special thank you goes to the hundreds of our loyal sub­ scribers who took advantage of our subscription renewal offer - some renewing for NATIONAL SALES MANAGER five or more years and a few even extending for ten years! Words can't express the deep Chris Lane sense of gratitude and pride 1 feel because of your votes of confidence in our efforts. 1-888-338-1700 With most of our startup headaches behind us, I now look forward to getting the magazine back on schedule.

  • EMD Switchers 1935 - 1939 General Motors 201-A Winton Engine General Motors Purchased EMC (Electro Motive Corporation) and Winton Engine in 1930
    EMD Switchers 1935 - 1939 General Motors 201-A Winton engine General Motors purchased EMC (Electro Motive Corporation) and Winton Engine in 1930. EMC was a subsidiary of GM until 1941 when it became a full division (EMD). A total of 175 early EMC switchers were built with Winton 201-A engines between February 1935 and January 1939 and all of these but three oddballs can be distinguished from later EMD 567 engined units by small louvres at the top front sides of their hoods, as well as top-of-hood ventilation through several lifting vents rather than the large top grille of the later 567 units. The three exceptions being the solitary, centre cab twin-engined T transfer locomotive and a pair of unique NW4 Roadswitchers which included a steam generator to heat passenger cars during passenger terminal work and AAR type B trucks. Most EMD switchers were supplied with EMD built AAR type A trucks. The 900 h.p ‘N’ series differs visually from the 600 h.p ‘S’ series as follows; The hood on the ‘N’ series is longer, leaving only a small amount of room before the front walkway, the ‘N’ series have centrally located twin exhaust stacks whilst the ‘S’ series have them offset towards the engineer's left, because of the inline diesel, and many ‘N’ series locomotives have a short electrical box with sharp-angled corners rather than the lower, longer, rounded-cornered "satchel" of the ‘S’ series.
