That's a cool one!
I would love to see more switchers represented; maybe some day I'll have the time to learn to model.
I would love to find a way to use laser scans of detailed model locomotives as the basis for TSC models.
I noticed IvantheRussianDood stopped posting about his FM switcher right around the time Russia invaded Ukraine. I hope everything is OK with him.

Well it's a Whitcomb but model still a mystery.

After wasting a hour of my time I think it's a 25 Ton GE.

Hi,
Comparing the photos of the grey ADM Growmark loco with the yellow GE-35 tonner, the ADF loco has been modified with what looks like a hefty top-mounted exhaust muffler. Bearing in mind this loco was operating in a plant which handled food-grade crops I wonder if it is actually a filter to clean up the filthy diesel exhaust fumes?
I also like the metal sunshade for the driver's side window - sunny California eh !
