Dover to Hoboken,
for a time, they occasionally were pulled by steam under the catenary.
Also, occasionally, apparently on weekends in the 1940's they visited
the Sussex Branch.
It's in my nature
at times to do oddball things and I think it would be fun to see a
train of 4 multiple units being pulled into Newton by steam. Here
then are some thoughts on this project.
Looking around
the net, it seems to me that IHC's heavyweight coach might be a good,
inexpensive starting point for experimentation. Note: Actually
it isn't. When I get into this project, I'll find something. -DR
I have a drawing
of the end and side view of an M.U. which was published some time
ago, and there are a pletrhora of photographs of these cars.
Main problem
I see is finding something to look like a folded down pantograph.
