Mal, very timely article for TDU. I am preparing an article about the Brill
77E trucks PETS imported from Japan, so this will be a handy inclusion.

Are you able to tell if these were 4 motor trucks - the picture seems to
indicate that?

Yes the 77E was designed as a 4 motor truck, but of course it would work with only 2 motors - just with less power and grip.
It has inside hung motors, while the 76E had outside hung motors - and thus a longer wheelbase.
The 77E1 was designed to have smaller wheels and thus the springing was a bit different.
I have attached a sheet showing the 77E dimensions for various gauges.
