Actually, I know this is possible because I was the one who had it done. I re-engineered the locomotive for all of that; as I have stated before. I tried to run it here in the States for 3 yrs.....as soon as people found out what the main fuel was.... they scattered like a bomb was going to go off any second.(must have been visions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) The design has been tried and proven to work effectively. Minimal radiation leakage, no more than 1 and a half rads a yr;less than the radiation background we all live in unprotected. Sure it was a heavy Locomotive, you bet, but that only increased its tractive force and the increased steam pressure and larger wheels made it move faster. I used it for freight and passenger service; on 130 lb rail. <br />had to import it from the sttes,'cuz no one makes steel in India. I couldn't find any.........
