I have a couple of Overland drives, if anyone needs them. Roger Nulton

The first thing I did was toss out a couple of the drives and started making my own using NWSL parts. That was back in the last century before Overland came out with the F units. Once River Raisin sold the red-drives I yanked the Overland drives out of my F units and used them to replace the rest of the Sunset GP drives. I opted to make a separate frame for the drive, and solder the hood and cab to the floor with the railing so it was all one piece. I've since sold all of my die-sals's. The last pair were the ones with the unfinished NWSL units. McCoy relieved me from the suffering. Railroads run with steam engines, trucks run with dirty diesels. J.
