I apologize in advance if this is an entirely stupid question...but, I don't want to leave this to chance. The description of a Lionel 6-34618 Legacy diesel (The 41st President version) says this, "Powerful maintenance-free motor with momentum flywheel."

That implies to me that there is only one motor in this locomotive...though I didn't think any single motor, top-of-the-line diesels had been made in this century.

Can/will someone confirm the number of motors in this particular SD70ACe...and/or all such Legacy diesels?

Thank you for your patient and kind reply(ies).

SD60M--The engine has 2 motors!

It looks like a typo on Lionel's website, as the catalog lists the unit as having dual motors. Lionel's exploded parts diagram for the 6-34618 SD70ACe also confirms there are two motors.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, both...I told you it was a stupid question...but, I had to confirm the presence of 2...no matter how ridiculous it may seem to you all.

Again...thanks...until you are better paid!
