My C-630's are almost finished and will be uploaded in the next few days. There are 2 different types, those riding on ALCO tri mount trucks, those riding on Fairbanks Morse Trainmaster trucks. And there are also a few differences between the classic units and the late ones, a few roof details. So I made 4 different locos, 2 of each variant, one running short hood forward and one running long hood forward. So you'll get 8 locos if you want!Below are a few screenshots for you!Jan

Hey Shawn most C-Truck locos have the middle axle off center due to traction motor spacing/clearance issues.... An A-1-A truck which has no traction motor on the center axle does not have that problem hence the axles are "usually" evenly spaced....Chuck Schneider
