Comments on: Don’t try this at home! A very badly damaged TEBU4 sits at Mac Yard LRC. This unit has been here for over 1 year and will likely not be repaired any time soon. This might be an interesting unit to model as iut started out life as a GP9.

I guess we get to see how Sluggos are made out of.

@rlk2211… I will look at the other side the next time I am at work as it may still have its #. The point I was trying to make was that CN has/had many different booster units including ones made from retired MLW’s

That looks too short to be a GP9 frame, but I’m just guessing I’m not as familiar with the CN slugs.

@Todd. It was damaged in a collision at Mac Yrd over a year ago. Still not sure if it will be repaired or retired. Probably retired.

Those were never made out of GP9′s, they were built new from GMDD London out of MP1500 frames.
