dieseltaylor Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 WOOOWWWWW! Never if you ever saw a project more ripe for development this must be it. With an actual model to work from a good computer simulation could tell if it would really work. I take speed as one thing it probably had but I can only speculate as to its aerobatic skill. Incidentally in the UK the first mainline steam loco to be manufactured for about 50 years is getting ready for passenger service. All the money raised by private donations for a good cause - I think £3m http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7810296.stm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
