Alco C-628

Looks like an Alco C-628, probably the old AHM/IHC model.  Here's a prototype photo of D&H 601  http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/dh/dh601ags.jpg.

I'll agree!

I believe also that it is an old AHM/IHC model.  Probably made by ROCO in Austria fro IHC or AHM.  Does it have all wheel drive? or does it have a power truck arraingment?  All wheel drive = IHC.  Power truck = AHM.

Thanks!

Made in Yugoslavia!

I Agree,

That it is a AHM or IHC model, but it is built by Mehano in Yugoslavia, which is now Slovenia. I found their drive trains were better than many of the older AHM models. Mehano models have been sold under the AHM, IHC, Life like, Model power, and the Mehano labels.  Their steam models are reliable with can motors, and both sides of the engine picking up power.

The Mehano models are no longer imported, but many used and some new models can still be found. They may be active in the European Market.

Regards,

John

Life Like

I will say its a Life Like C628.  I bought several a couple decades ago and painted two for the PRR and was going to paint up a couple for the LV, but never got around to it.

Here's some on e-bay:

Did any one mention that

Did any one mention that looking on the bottom of the fuel tank or inside of the body shell might shed some more results on this. It does look like the old life like and model power engines of days gone by.

There may also be something stamped into the sides of the gear boxes as well, I have seen that on some engines just do not remember which ones now.

Hi Pro Klyzir

Many thanks for coming back to me,  so sorry it has taken so long to get back to you but I have been a tad busy.   As requested I have attached a photo of the locos I am trying to identify.    

I have closely examined each one and cannot find any identification marks.

many thanks HarryH

A shot of the bottom of each loco would help confirm my hunches and narrow-down the specific production eras,
