New EMD F7 Problem

[BNSF650]

Has anybody notice the GE Logo on the trucks of the EMD F7'? I didnt know that EMD and GE was togethere way back when..

Pic?

Yep

That is the speed recorder not the truck and I do believe GE made them.

But why would it be on a EMD Locomotive?

Doesn't matter what locomotive model it is, ALCo, GE, Baldwin, etc. Fact is whatever was the most reliable accurate speed recorder would be used. Since GM never made any (that I know of). GE's would be used. Remember GE isn't just a locomotive maker...

I only created the initial model - RSC added the speed recorder.

Correct me if I am wrong - you need to zoom in - but is this not a GE speed recorder on this F7?

So it would appear that RS got this right.

I guess its right.
