 | | MOC of B Unit for my SFSC
|
|
I just got done (untill I get another SFSC) building my B unit. And much like many other people its the natural thing to do once getting the SFSC. I only used my current brick to make this cause I only have one Super Chief. So I was able to make a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I seem to recall reading that the Super Chief was occasionally pulled with F45s, so the F7s can't really be considered part of the train - just it's usual motive power. I get the impression Sante Fe tended to consider "Super Chief" to relate (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) They may be locomotives "currently assigned" to *pulling* the Super Chief, but it was not Santa Fe practice (or hardly any other US road, either) to assign specific locomotives to specific trains, except in the very very beginning of delivery (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Dear Ahui, as written in the other answers more than 2 motors does not appear to be very helpful. 2 motors (with enough weight on their Back) should be able to pull up to over 100 waggons (has been testet)! So there are 3 aspects: the 4558 (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
