NKP 765 has been known to run passenger trains without a diesel for HEP. Often Railroads will require a diesel to be run on point for safety reasons. That way their engineer can drive the train, he knows the route & such. The few RRs that let steamers on point, have a regular steamer crew (like UP's) which can run the engine with a line-certified driver.

As for HEP. I believe most steam excursion cars have generators or a generator car for power.

Fooling around on Midwest Grain

Getting ready to run with some old power.

Crossing over the diamonds in Notch Eight, struggling to keep traction with the rain.

A friend pulled over & caught the 40's going away from him.

While waiting at a nearby Elevator, a local pulled up with a leased GP38 in charge

The train passes over Trout Creek right as the weather lets up.

The train stops in a siding to wait for a Ethanol train with a leader that due for a check up.

I'm going to guess GE 60 Toner.

Thanks guys! The engine in question is a shop-built BW9 'mcnugget' as was said. 900 horsepower with twin detroit diesel engines.

You're killing us posting the McNuggets over here!! I've been secretly drooling over them over in the Blawnmaster thread!

 

[Therock]

well, unlike the OCRN equipment these will likely see the light of day sometime in the future

Could you tell me what the coach is in knifeswitches pictures? Is it something he made, or has it been released somewhere?

 

[Therock]

The dome is a reskin of one Justin made. The streamlined coach is one of a set I made.
