Just found this on YouTube. Shows some of the weird locomotives built
over the years. There's even an electric steam locomotive there.
Just thought everyone would get a kick out of it.
There are 3 parts to the videos.

of that Soviet behemoth was quietly taken out and shot? Great
link, thanks mucho.

You're welcome. I thought everyone would get a kick out of it. I
liked the "electric steam engine". That might be an interesting
build sometime in the future. High voltage electricity and water,
interesting combination.

I've seen this video set quite a few years ago, but it never gets old!

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Wow, some awesome engines in there, many I've never seen before, some that identified a model I have ( The Tienfisch, tiny diesel engine centercab shorter than a VW beetle,I have a kit built using the Bachmann gandy dancer motorized chassis to power it ). Thanks for posting that link, I need to bookmark that, pretty sweet history lesson.
