QUOTE: Originally posted by TrainFreak409 Hmmm...natural gas...I never thought about that...That would be awesome! The only real alternate source of power I was thinking of was electricity. Have electric water heaters for the boiler, special batteries in the tender, generators on each axle, and a pantograph or two...In theory it would work.[;)][8D][:D][:p]
