Alco RSD-7

Does anybody know where I can find accurate drawings (w/dimensions) for the ALCO RSD-7? Has a kit of one ever been offered on the market? I’m reasonably good at kitbashing but I need some reference material first. Haven’t had too much luck on the internet searching thing so far so I’m hoping somebody out there has already been down this road.

Thanx

I did a google search for: drawing, alco rsd-7 and got this amoungst other things: http://www.trainweb.org/willstrainart/Train_Art_files/Alco_line/RSD7.htm

Google can be your friend.

IIRC they are externally identical to high-nosed RSD-15s.

There may be a difference in phases though. The link Jay posted shows the RSD7 as having 3 boxes just foward (assuming short hood is forward) of the radiatior fan, but thew RSD15 has one larger box

Thanks for finding that for me. I have some dimensions I can overlay onto that drawing and that gives me a good start.
