[quote user="tomikawaTT"] <p>How would <strong>I</strong> build a 6000 (plus) horsepower locomotive?</p><p>I would take two 4-4/4-4 triple-expansion compound steam engines with all the Withuhn enhancements, sling a modern high-pressure boiler between them, equip said boiler with all the antipollution devices found on modern fixed power plant units, put a bunker and tank adjacent to the coal input end of the boiler and a larger water tank at the other end. Two cabs, one at each end, with remote enhanced computer control of the machinery for maximum efficiency.</p><p>Any resemblance to a Bayer-Garratt would, I'm sure, be coincidental...</p><p>(Nobody said they had to be 6000 <em>diseasel</em> horsepower)</p><p>Chuck</p><p>[/quote] </p><p>I agree with that.</p><p>Erieee, do you have any pictures of your engines?</p>
