He posted an on-topic statement that I replyed to. That's no sin in my rulebook.
Appearently not.
The Geese ran on the RGS, not the D&RG.
Actually Steve/Mark is correct...
Some railcars like the FRA T-10 have a Hydraulic Transmission...
FRA T-10 rail test car has a hydraulic system...
Again, not true.
McKeen cars, Sykes cars, Mack railbuses, Service Motor/Brill Model 55 and 75 cars all had mechanical drives, with gearboxes and clutches.
Then there's the small industrial locos known generically as 'critters'
- quite a number of them had mechanical drives as well.
Erik, what can you tell me about this railcar? It reminds me a bit of the Triangel cars...
Cheers,
Mark.
This one was built by Scandia of Randers.
Triangel of Odense mostly made smaller four- or six-wheeled rail cars but also a few larger types. The larger Scandia and Triangel cars were about the same size, had similar-looking bodies and both had a mechanical transmissions. They were a little different in that the Scandia cars had two trucks, whereas the Triangel cars had three trucks (a rather odd design, actually).
