[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bill mathewson hey Railroading Brit- I'm not aware of any application of an optional mu setup on Baldwins, but I'd like to know of any if anyone has any specifics. I had the understanding that they used an air operated throttle, and it is conceivable that they could have reconfigured their controls to mu w/ other brands. It's hard to imagine what they were thinking when they made the decision "to go it alone". Was that 'decision maker ' also responsible for Sony's "BetaMax"? [/quote] I found a reference to this here: http://exotic.railfan.net/baldwinlocos.htm (Good web site for those of us who like the more unusual locos). Item 10 under "Technical Features" states that "Contrary to many reports, Baldwin diesels could be run in MU operation with diesels built by other makers if the units were ordered with the proper MU equipment from the Baldwin catalog".
