Not much is known about this one, as it’s a one-of-a-kind product by Brandt. It was constructed in 2008. That and that apparently an Ex-Canadian Pacific GP9 WAS PLANNED to be used as a base, but that never went through in the end, and said GP9 was scrapped. There’s probably a few parts from it that were used, like the traction motors, right? right brandt? please?
