HO Centipede Diesel SAL #4507/Frt.Scheme

Baldwin produced the famous “Centipede” diesel
locomotives during 1945-48, and sold them to three railroads (SAL,
NdeM, and PRR).  The Centipedes were very large, 91 1/2 feet
long, for single units as operated on SAL and NdM, and 183 feet long
for semi-permanently coupled pairs as operated on the PRR. 
Each unit contained two 1500 horsepower diesel motors, so a pair
contained four motors and totaled 6000 horsepower.  Centipedes
were heavy, totaling 1,200,000 pounds (1.2 million) for a pair, with
more than 800,000 of those pounds carried by the 16 drivers.
