That is awesome! I have always wanted to build something like that, except one engine on a slightly longer model power diesel switcher chassis.

That's hysterical Ken. Of course it begs the question about why put the trucks in separate carbodies, unless the railroad built it to get around trolley curves.

It's a hoot and maybe practical. It would be neat to see it operating.

That is a cool engine! It looks as if 2 Tyco F's were split and the MU-2 drive system was used! I got a idea now, I have too many Tyco F shell's and MU2's!

They would have to be electric. A pantograph on each would make them perfect for an electric industrial shortline.

Ha ha! Could make an interesting shop unit or hostler. Or might be fun with a couple pantographs attached, but let's not get *too* silly now...
