Texas State Railroad GE 45 ton side rod switcher #1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_45-ton_switcher

Built by General Electric in January 1947 for the Temple Lumber Co. as locomotive #1. It was later acquired by the Texas State Railroad in 1972. Source

This is the only TSRR locomotive I have never seen in person. She has been recently repainted all red, which I thought was boring, so I built her as she was.

Thanks all.

Nice build.

How is it powered ? I don't see either battery box or IR-receiver.

It's not. Three of the four TSRR diesels are unpowered, as they're either too small or the design too complex to be powered in any fashion.

I was suspecting that as I could see no signs of motors or related stuff.

Also considering your design there shouldn't be space enough, but you can never be certain......some guys are experts and have magic tricks up their sleeve.
