It’s a Class 66, built by General Motors EMD in London, Ontario. Which probably explains the similarities. 🙂

whats the horsepower of this one? the comparable locomotive size wise with that setup here is 4000 to 4350 on horsepower.. what does it use for train brakes? we use air pressure set at 90 psi in the brake pipe and make reductions to apply the brakes. also the engine brakes are independant of the train brake but can be blended with the application of the train brake unless you chose to bail the engine brake off. sorry for the dumb questions. although there are similarities there are huge differences.

the locomotive in the middle looks like it has trucks under it from an EMD (general motors) SD70. what kind of locomotive is it? sorry to sound ignorant locomotives here dont look like that. i work for the railroad here in the U.S. as a locomotive engineer. always been curious about railroading in other countries. here is some video i shot from a freight train in Mississippi and Tennesee..

ANM2 ammo boxes

greetings, my name is robert i am from the southeast usa. i recently aquired a british Mk2 ANM2 in .303 cal. it has a mount that a “type 1 holder” mounts to. can anyone tell me where i could find a 100 round ammo can to go in it?

here is a photo of the gun with the holder attached to the cradle.

any help is greatly appreciated. i was told this gun was used on a lancaster bomber. i have NO clue about these guns as they are very rare here in the states. thanks again fellas..
