In reviewing the pictures and talking to Hawk, it is a GP-7 not a GP-9. At least thats whatt the builders plate said. Thanks and sorry about the confusion.

If you have the 9, that would be ok. Again I do appreciate the work.

fuel tank: 800 gallons (smaller than standard)
1500 HP/ 16 CYL 10"dy/ 567 Prime mover/ 130 tons
Friction Bearing trucks
only 20 built for ARMY... (1821-1840)
(note* many of these Army gp's when sold in the surplus program had very low hours. 1822 from the FGCRRM has a little over 100,000 opperating hours.)Tennessee valley owns 3 (1824 opper, 1829, opper, 1833 non opp)Other known serviversFlorida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum (1835 opper, 1822 non opp)

Great!! How do I go about getting a copy from you? You can send it to me via e-mail, my address is jtackett@bellsouth.net. Or if there is a site I can D/L it form that would be even better.Thanks to all that responded to my request.
