This has happened to a good number of Rio Grande GP40's. Usually, these units keep the standard GP40 3-fan setup, but, of course, have the normally-aspirated twin stacks, rather than the turbo stack.

If it has a hunting problem then they should be checking the governor, then the rack and finally the injectors. The turbo might be a slight issue of not delivering enough air, clean filters will do wonders. Thats what i would be looking at. But im not there and it might have more problems then mentioned to put it in storage.
Have a safe day BMH Date: 04/06/05 04:19 Re: DRGW 3114 To Be Laid To Rest Author: KevinD Naw... the Rio Grande & Lake Erie people will be out soon to pick it up and bring it to Brewster.....

Date: 04/06/05 13:53 Re: DRGW 3114 To Be Laid To Rest Author: stretch Thank goodness, I just got my info from the =li/ function. It said it was to be stored at jenks. figured that might would have been the end of the line for it. Also any news on the UP 8543 mech-man?
