Looks like this RR has some tight curves, given the four 4-axle trucks in place of 2 six-axle trucks. Is the RR "standard" gauge or "narrow" gauge? At any rate, a very interesting variation on the GEs we see here in the States. Nice paint scheme, too. Thanx for sharing!

Meter gauge. I assume the main reason for the bogies is to lower the axle load to around 20t.

With such a small fuel tank, you'd need to fill it daily. What a pain & a drain on time management.

Most export models have smaller fuel capacity than domestic models. Before the big 8-axle models, the Brazilian metre gauge had stuff like G26CUs with 6600L tanks (comparable to GP38-2, whose small 1700gal tank was similar but often came with a 2600gal tank), U20Cs likewise (comparable to U18Bs)...
