Hello Martin,
Nice Alco you have there.
The X's on the frame are like the safety stripes on other roads engines.
I believe the Milwaukee Road is the only RR to use X's on the frame.

Hey Martin:

Try a couple of the Atlas-Roco's. They can often be gotten for a bargain.

I particularly recommend the Alco Switchers they made: S2/4 the FP-7A's and the SD24's All run superbly!
