Back to Black ! - as Amy would have sung :  Dispo 182 class piloting Taurus on freight from Austria awaiting highball to continue northbound .  

Not that the load would be that heavy , yet with private rail transport enterprises invading what formerly were national railways there is some light engine traffic , usually arranged by piloting to avoid an additional unit in dense mainline traffic .

Uhm , Chrysler didn't exactly built a 4-8-4 , didn't they ?

although , they did built a 4-4-0 *gee* - but that's another story ..

( line below reads "Built for the 1 man in 4 who wants a little bit more"  -- Man ..? )

edit :  I replaced #200 , to be relocated to thread "steam aesthetics"

The D&H Engines (#200 - #221, #401, #404 - #415) are ALCo C-420's.  They came in Low and High Nose versions.  The models I have are all Low Nose formats from the 400 series.
