For generic items there are diesel, steam, elec and crane car. What would you assign or label when you input the new trackmobile? I know there aren't many options for trackmobile, but was wondering what would be the best option or it may not matter much at all. What do you think? Thanks

I called it a diesel and the sound options don't seem to make any difference.
i typed in the name "trackmobile" so that when i scroll under engines the name appears with the others---milwaukee 261; crane car; trackmobile; and so on.
If all else fails I would call it a Diesel. Its not a steam engine and not an electric or any other funky thing so it defaults to diesel.

TRACKMOBILE® pioneered the Mobile Railcar Mover in 1948, and remains the leader in the industry today.
The Trackmobiles® are equipped with modern Cummins 4 cycle, Tier III diesel engines. These engines are quieter, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly than their predecessors. Andress Enginering can install a modern diesel power plant in your existing machine. Trackmobiles® can also be equipped with Radio Remote Control.
Therefore I would say John and AL are correct
Well, I knew it wasn't electric or steam, so the logic dictated it would be diesel. Since these things weigh a bunch of tons, I didn't expect them to be running gasoline. I looked up the specifications one day and was amazed at the weight these little things pack! I guess that is dictated by the amount of tractive force they need to do their job.
