Slugs aren't really engines--they are traction motor platforms--the controlling engine feeds electrical current to the slug to power its traction motors. Many RR's would use an old engine as a slug. They would remove the prime mover--the engine--and ballast the unit to compensate for the weight. My favorite slugs are the old F units converted by the KCS!! BTW congratulations Dougal for your TAMR position!

[:D]I LOVE ICG's NOW KCS SLUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

If I could have a standard AAR conrol stand in a quiet cab, or a silent-cabbed SD40-2, I'd have the perfect locomotive.[:)]
