Hi, John.
Thank you for that. I have seen it before and tried to get a clean shot of it without the ACMOC badge in front of the blade, Like you, I don't know where the photo is stored. Could it be on ADCO's database?

Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Thanks for finding it D4Jim, I am not that clever at this IT stuff. If I remember correctly Grant had it on display at the 2019 National Show.

I believe the double D4 was put together by Ken Eder when he was still alive. I think it was finished for the Ederville show after he was killed. I see Eric beat me to the answer.

Would be interesting to know how the controls are set up on the twin D2! . One handle control both main clutches? Throttles synchronized so travels in a straight line without constant steering correction?
I assume the right engine is "push started" with the left half and that there are a lot of other details involved.

Angelo and I watched the twin D4 run at Ederville - wasn't quite as sophisticated a setup as the D8s and D9s but was good as a working curiosity
