holy macrel.............

Pete, you think it might run again?

Interesting conversion. It should have been built with a Hercules O X gas engine. I bet it was converted to propane for the amusement ride industry. Anything can run again it just takes two items

&

MONEY $$$$$

Banks have you ever thought of just building you own custom mine locomotive? ? I am sure you can pull that off with some mine wheels, sprockets, steel, wood, & some welding.

That unit, and the other two still operating at Kennywood, were specially built by Vulcan for the 1939-40 New York World's Fair, in that configuration. Just some cosmetic changes were done to the other two active units. Vulcan used a typical 5-Ton mine loco frame and just built the Art Deco body over it. As far as I know, the two units at the park are still gas fueled, unless they did change them to propane.

It would be cool to do though...

Thats funny that the look of those locomotives is actually original... Personally, I'm not a fan. Oh well I guess..

I ran across this same locomotive today. It is now in front of the station in Oaks, PA:

Some standard gauge lokies were down the street.

Inside the train show was an operable 16 inch gauge 4-4-0. It will be auctioned on January 16 at Cabin Fever Expo in York, PA:
