LOL…No kidding,That was great!
I guess if they have to put a diesel in the consist, Go Big, UP6935 DDA40X, Last of it’s kind still running, and the biggest diesel ever made at 6600 HP ( combined ), 8400+ gallons of fuel in it. I’m glad i’m not paying that fuel bill…

If BuNSniF ever ordered those things, they would only have 1/3 of the axles with traction tires oops, traction motors… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)I hear from all the crews I used to work with that the new locomotives really stink cause they have no grip on the rails… Trying to save money by buying less traction motors…
That would be one heck on a support beam to hold that fuel tank up… And those trucks would have to be articulated.

Ain’t Photoshop great!!!

Not me but I have been contemplating a SDP70F for quite some time and have most of what I need. Perhaps I need to put the PA project on hold.
Wait …that’s right everything is on hold for me currently.
Rooster, it is? Oh yea.
Craig, bash up a diesel? My shop crews would have me steam cleaned. No, but I do want to bash up an ACE 3000. And maybe, maybe a smaller diesel. But that’s still in a Devonish dream state.
I’ll bet Mark D could generate one…
Why does everyone want to re-invent the Wheel?
Update the diesels and it should match the horses.

John, I ask that question a lot. But some folks are just like that.
Harvey, and who would be able to run it? It would need very wide diameter curves.
