.

Things that almost ended the build
-trucks attaching to everything
-throttle attaching to everything
-noses were too wide
-weird camera issues

And they're all fixed! Well, I kinda think the nose is still a bit wide but it'll work.

Creds: alexchub1 for the gauges, TrainDude for the trucks

Builder notes
Company: General Electric
Production dates: 1940-1956
Number built: 386
Prime movers: Varied, but this one has dual Caterpillar D342 diesels

Since 1937, there has been a "90,000 Pound Rule" in act, requiring any locomotive in North America over 90k pounds to have a fireman/second worker onboard. To try and break this and lower costs, General Electric made the 44 tonner. It was used by several companies and railroads, ranging from private ones to Class 1's. Some were even shipped to France. Many of them are still in use today.

Controls:
1 and 2 are lights
7 and 8 activate engines, the front one is on by default
Landing Gear moves cab camera
Trim is throttle
Brake is brake
