The true test for this engine will be the amount of black smoke it generates when throttling up.

This model produces a lot of black smoke when throttling up:
This picture does not show the full amount of smoke, I just took it "on the fly":

The cabview suggest it is set up to run long hood forwards, right?
Nice cab, real tidy instrument panel. Plus that large ALCo control stand.
The throttle lever will move through the whole distance/arc of that slot?
This is certainly looking to become a fine engine.

This looks to be one of the finest engines yet.

Yes, this engine runs long hood forward.
The throttle lever has 8 notches and moves through (mostly) the complete arc of the slot, the dynamic brake switches is located in the same slot.
