Hi,
I have keen interest in playing simulator so I decided to model a locomotive.
After three years of hardship I managed to make a decent looking ALCO WDM 2A for myself. *!embar*!

It is a diesel–electric locomotive that was developed in 1962 by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for Indian Railways.
The model name stands for Broad Gauge (W), Diesel (D), Mixed Traffic (M) Locomotive of second generation.

Thanks for reading my post.

Very nice export Alco engine. Is this going to be for standard gauge track or for Broad gauge? Will it come in two versions - one with knuckle coupler and another one with 3 link?

Thank you for showing love to ALCO.
It is based on broad gauge rail network as the model was originally designed in 1960s.
Indian Railway have two different design of coaching stock and one uses screw coupling and another uses knuckle coupler.
I have to make both version in a single unit (if possible).
