QTY

Baldwin produced the famous “Centipede” diesel
locomotives during 1945-48, and sold them to three railroads (SAL, NdM,
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.  (Some
content excerpted from the WWW). These spectacular diesel locomotives
are a MUST-HAVE for an Pennsy diesel modeler as well as anyone who
wants to showcase unique, premium quality on his layout.
