Re: xdssss

 If you want to see an XDSSSS, go to the Clyde display.

Due to its Blomberg bogies [copied off an EMD F-7] , it qualifies as a GM
product. Clyde comes into the picture as they had to import the spare parts.
If you can get a look at its roof, check if the exhaust for the train
heating boiler is still there. The location  was  the short hood, left hand
side. Perhaps a blanking panel might be all that is left of the exhaust
outlet. If not it is not the real class leader but instead only one of the
freight models. There also should be the standard USA safety bell or at
least the assembly for the bell. Some cheapskate has probably flogged it by
now!
It should be worth a photo!
