i dont know a lot about the engine but i looked at some pictures. it might be a lot of modification to make the 3 axle trucks fit on a small frame.

I think that MR had an article not to long ago on building a SDL 39. Check this years index.

I could not help but think of that myself. Now you are going to need to explain, probably.

WC,

The article that Paul was thinking of is in the September 2004 Model Railroader.
Also the September 1990 MR has a set of drawings and the Jan/Feb 1998 issue of Diesel Era has an article with a lot of detail photos.
