LC1 and 2

[NW Mailing List]

 Correct. The LC-1 was articulated and the LC-2 was rigid with two sets of driven wheels. The change probably had to do with the fact that the LC-2 had two larger motors instead of the four smaller ones in the LC-1; but that is just my guess.

 The LC 1 had trucks that articulated like a modern diesel locomotive. Correct?
Did the LC 2 have “rigid” drivers that were driven from each end like duplex steam?  I see that the center two drivers aren’t connected to each other. Am I correct that the LC 2 was not articulated?

If I’m correct, why did they change designs?
Grateful for your responses.
