I just unrolled a large blueprint I have here (one of many)
It's PRR, dated Altoona shops, 1935......Blueprint for a diesel-AC locomotive.
It looks like a P5A modified, with 2- B type trucks (0-4-4-0 in Steam terms, B-B in diesel terms)
Has 900 hp diesel engine in one end, and electric transformers, etc on other side.,
Cab in middle, 2 pantographs, just like the P5a modified.
HP rating is 900 hp diesel and 2100 hp electric.
Drawing just shows cab # 0000 in PRR keystones on ends, and on sides.
Anyone know anything about this proposed engine?
