Hello Possums,

And [edit] four of these in line, put the loco in locomotive.
(plus one sideways further back for maybe a generator or something?)






Sulphide Street Railway & Historical Museum,
Broken Hill

hi bob,
did you get a pic of the outside of the loco as well???
interesting setup....
driving thru a gearbox or dropbox?
i'm guessing a 3 axle shunter???

Not a bad little museum eh Bob!

Google "Silver City Comet" Newto - all you'll need to know.

They nose wen they on a good thing

'The four Detroit Diesel 6/110 traction engines occupied the centre of the car, mounted in facing pairs'

LOL
cya

did they need 4 to increase the chances of 1 still running to bring it home?

Seriously railways like multiple engines when using truck motors - their mechanics seem to see all non-railway specific designs as fragile.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but those Detroit brochures reminded me of this gem.



"Manly"??? I'm not sure
