In the early '70s, TYCO shows a powered F-9A and non-powered F-9B listed in catalogs as a Twin Diesel set.  Specific information is limited, one catalog shows B&O examples and another Santa Fe.  Both are shown carrying stock number 240.
 
TYCO did catalog another group of Twin Diesel offerings and pictures them in the mid '70s catalogs.  This round of pairs included two F-9A units with one powered and one dummy.
 
Twin Diesel sets are known to exist for the Shark Nose and F-9 models.
