Thank you Tom and Alain

X2!

That's exactly what it is. The link that Chris provided explained it. I wasn't sure if it was a "pony engine" used for starting.

Brian, this is over the top! What a fantastic build!!

Thanks Aaron. I will follow up on this.

Thank you Chris!!! This information answers two important questions. The first being the drivetrain setup. The second one being what is the setup on top of the right fender.

Thanks Terry. This is good info

Very impressive scratchbuilding and detailing!

I was able to locate this bit of information.... http://www.ritchiewiki.com/wiki/index.php/Euclid_Road_Machinery_Co. Twin Engine Concept Building on the prosperity of its off-highway trucks and bottom-dumps, Euclid expanded after the war and built one new plant and purchased a second in the vicinity of Euclid. In 1949 Euclid developed the first wheel tractor-scraper that had two engines, one powering the scraper and a separate engine powering the scraper’s wheels. Such a development was only achievable in part to the 1948 introduction of the Allison Division of GM’s first semi-automatic “Torqmatic” transmission that had a torque-converter drive. With the Torqmatic transmission mounted to two engines, the tractor and scraper driving wheels operated in sync.[10] In 1949 the two-engine concept was applied to off-highway trucks.

Having a picture of the drivetrain would certainly be beneficial. This is something I haven't been able to locate. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words"

Thank you everyone for your input...very much appreciated!! Here's a picture that shows the engine. (photo by John Pearson) It seems to resemble a Cummins? Let me know what you think...

I've been thinking about using this as a model subject for quite some time

It certainly makes the Autocar look small

I've been researching the history of the 8 X 4 Euclids owned by Hake Rigging. Does anyone know if these had twin diesel engines and if so, what brand? Any and all info would be greatly appreciated!

Pat, that's a great picture...thanks for sharing!

Jesus, If you decide to go with the Roadway theme, let me know. I won't be using the Roadway decals from my DM 600 build.

I want to thank everyone for the positive feedback...it means a lot!

Thank you Justin!

That looks real nice!

Leaving the hood flat black and with weathering it will look good!

Very nice! I like the subject matter.

The details are outstanding!

It's looking good James.

Very impressive!
