[captainkman]

I think that is taking a merger too far!

Paintshop gurus, are you there?

That gets the Spare Parts Use award and I do agree, that would make an interesting Trainz loco. (I am going to attempt to make this one).

Well they said in the 70's the railroads would merge into one major line...but that is going a bit too far. Burliseabowisconcentral....just rolls off the tongue huh?

Or as someone defined it in the comments, a Burlisconsinboard unit.

Hows about them rads? GP40/5? Didn't say if it was Dash 2 standard.

Or they could make it AC so each phase/cycle would represent a donor railroad?

That's the Wisconsin Central scheme from a land where locomotives are odd and combination schemes are used to make a quick fix and then press right into service. :hehe:

When a loco is rebuilt with many parts canabalized from bad wrecks ... Is the jerry-rigged loco Haunted ???

The origin of jury rig is nautical and dates to 1788. It is from the nautical term jury mast. This term dates to at least 1616 and refers to a temporary mast erected to hold sail when the normal mast has been lost due to storm or battle. It is commonly thought that this sense of the word is a clipped form of injury mast.

Over half that statement has to be made up.
