does any one know if any one is making one of these in any scale? i doubt it. and what do you think bout these strange hybrid locomotives?
Atlas is going to release an HO model of the NCE 'genset' engine. The original manufacturer of the Green Goat has shut down, and tha assets were picked up by R J Corman.. The 'Green Goat/Green Kid' were more of battery locomotives with a small 'charger' to refresh the batteries . They could not run in continuous service. Most of the current crop of genset engines has 2-3 generator packages so that they can produce 1400-2100 hp and are capable of running all day(if they do not catch fire). They currently have a rather poor availability record, but I suspect after they are 'toughened up', they will perform as advertised.
