Hi Tom, That was an awesome video but, like I mentioned to Dave, I'm going to use the Sn9mm on a wharf and run it down the middle of public roadways, so this wouldn't be an appropriate way to power the locomotive.
The mine railroad will be Sn36 and will feature at least one Plymouth, a DDT which is almost done, and I hope to add a compressed air locomotive latter on. There's also an additional Plymouth I'm looking at, which will allow me to make a Plymouth `Pioneer'. I'm not positive, but I believe that the Plymouth locomotives were converted to propane for subterranean use, but I'm not positive about this.
