Greeting all,

I'm hoping you guys can help me, I'm trying to locate drawings (simple ones will do) of the General Electric ES44ACi, known as the TE33A.

I'm working on a 3D model of one and some drawings would be amazing. I havent had much luck locating any myself, but I'm admittedly not great at digging things up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Sorry, CaloNord: I don't have any drawings. I hope you find some!

For those who don't recognize the model designation: this is the model designed for (and most instances built in) Khazakstan: large numbers built for K. railway (and used on the China to Europe land bridge route) and at least a few to each of a number of ex-Soviet railways (and Mongolia). Mechanicals like an ES44AC, but in a European-looking, semi-streamlined, full width carbody. Appearance somewhat similar to the GE units built in recent years for Egyptian railways.
An interesting design. (Unfortunately, very few American railroad modellers are interested in non-American railways, so I don't foresee an article and plans in "Railroad Model Craftsman" any time soon. Maybe one of the more internationally minded British model railway magazines?)
