What year are you modeling? Anything past the 1980's-90's is kinda hard to
find anything for in S scale? The biggest problem I have with a U33C is that
it's a 6 Axel loco so doesn't look as good hanging around for 30 years on a
short line or branch line as it would if it was a 4 Axel unit. I'm not sure why
Lionel would choose a larger loco for their exploration of S scale instead of
something more useful for a wider range of applications like a GP40? Maybe it's
just that they couldn't fit all their proprietary electronics in the smaller
shell? .....DaveBranum
