Hey Bolts,

The AHC diesel is an engine that was never produced. It was to have been a name produce for America's Hobby Center, the "wish list" advertiser from the mid '40s well into the '60s. I'm guessing around 1946-47 there was at least one prototype made and a short run of crankcase castings, but the project never advanced past that. A member of a group of model engine builders called the Motor Boys International found the castings and through a seriers of efforts they produced drawings for the engine parts so they could be built.

My AHC diesel was built by me using the MBI drawings and a casting I bought off e***. Every now and then someone sells one of these basically one-off engines, but they're not readily available. So, you could wait an watch ,or like Andrew Coholic, others and myself, build one!
