I have an area I where I would like to add a short loop for a mining train. It would require tight 2 ft radius turns and a steep climb. I have not set my route yet but I expect the grade to be at least 4%...maybe even 8% in spots. <br />I would prefer to use a steam engine but would use a diesel if that is all that would work. Goal is to run an engine with small group of ore cars. <br />Everything else I have is large diesel and I am not up to speed on what is on the market that might work for these conditions. What engines would be best suited for what I am looking for? <br /> <br />PS...I run battery power and Locolink on everything else and I would prefer to do the same here if I can squeeze stuff in. As a last resort, I could put power to the track but I prefer not to.
