Please enjoy this video showcasing a TYCO Illinois Central Gulf (ICG) ALCO "Super" C630 with the rare Rivarossi-like drive - TYCO's first version of the C630 introduced in 1974.

Amazing piece of machinery. I totally agree, had Tyco gone with that drive, or stuck with the durable MU 2 motor, at least...
My question is what is that thing that cuts through the weight?? Is that a flywheel? Ach, NM, that would be the gear tower. What a bizarre arrangement, but it sure beats the PT.
Video is informative, brisk, and well shot. Nice job.
