Todd -- you're looking for an M as the first letter of the classification. EL took the system from the Erie. M means MU; your example doesn't have it because it is for the former 601A, B, C, D through 604 D -- 4-unit FTs : (F)reight (E)lectromotive (13)hundred horsepower, with (D)ynamic brakes. These unit sets could not MU. If I correctly read Stauffer's ERIE POWER and Carleton's EL STORY, none of the NWs could MU. Why should they? They were yard engines. Randy Brown - -------------------------------------------------------------- Awhile back Steve Timko was geacious enough to offer for sale a locomotive compatibility chart for EL, dated March 13, 1961. I took him up on his offer, but don't know how to read it properly. Instead of a listing like NW-2, it has things like 6011-6044 in the first column. The second column, still for the first item, reads FE-13DD. If you tell me what to look for, I can give you the compatibilies until the specified date of March 13, 1961 anyhow. Todd K.
