<p>Peter,</p> <p>I'm not propagating the C280. My feeling is they are too large for a passenger locomotive fitting the mentioned Amtrak loading gauge. Usually the weight would it make unlikely too, but another precondition was an A-1-A truck, when <em>Shadow the Cats owner</em> brought this up.</p> <p>As said the PRIIA specification requires 20'' passageways. The question is how thick are the ribs in a semi-monocoque. But with A-1-A truck most likely a simple frame-cowl design is possible.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
