Thanks Larry, but the matched pair no longer exists. One of the blue
engines was convereted to the SD40-2. I will am going to try to make a
matched pair of dash 2's. But I still need to make a power unit. By the
way, I finally found out what a GP30 looks like. You don't pull any punches
when you issue a challenge!
The truck attachment for the tank car is actually very simple. In the
corners where the castle walls meet there is a 1x2 technic brick. I put a
technic peg in the hole, and the technic peg connects to a whole in the
technic plate which is attached to the wheelsets. You cannot use a bogie
plate because the peg is too short; it doesn't reach all the way through
the hole in the technic brick.

| Or you can use a 2x2 tile with a a technic peg connecter sticking up from the middle. (Commonly used to mount helicopter blades) I have a tank car built as such and I am pleased with the rigidity and smoothnes of operation. Ben Fleskes PNLTC <snip> (...)
