Big Papa - thanks, I knew the word was somewhere in my head, it just didn't want to come out. The 'A' 'B' is the F style engine(I know there are others) which we have a mod of, Bunit.FPK.

snoopy55,
I'm still learning.

I didn't know that the slugs were powered by the main engine until today. I havn't seen much yard action, mostly just mainline. Thanks for the info.

That is cool! I like this one, wish one of the skinners would make this.

This looks like a job for OzoB.

Nice models. They look great so far.

Alot comes to you when your brain is updated. The yard pairs are often called 'Cow & Calf', which sounds about right, with the unpowered 'feeding' off the powered. One site mentioned that the Slug may also carry fuel which the powered unit(s) use. Then there's the fact that those beautiful slugs are filled with steel plates or concrete blocks for weight.

I'm guessing the one in dwaxs' pic would be a powered one owing to the fact that it has the radiator. (got that from a site). How bout this in the maps.......

That would be kewl!

Can you make them? Do we have any skinners around??

We (choo & I) won't be doing these any time soon. We currently have our hands full painting. 19 engine skins and counting...though some are very similar.

Got these loaded and look great however, have a question. All three engines have the same price and power whether a single unit or with duals. I realize I can change the values for cost and power and such in the global xml but just curious.
