I never new of this engines existence. I have seen so many other North American engines. As a Canadian Train fan i am learning slowly about these unique engine GMD- 1. How much I want ones in scale models! HO & O scale especially ! I really enjoyed this short film. 👍✅⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have some in HO scale I could sell, I am in BC, Canada I am John.

Love the anthology of world rail vids, Mr. Othen ( even though you have passed on :( ). I like the GMD-1’s, uniquely a Canada-only item, though some since migrated to Cuba.
BTW I was fortunate to have gotten an M3H horn like the one at the beginning, from an ebayer in SK. It has a cut across the flare of the largest bell that would accommodate the radiator bump at the long end, so I’m confident it’s off a GMD-1. Sounds just like the one in your video at any rate.
