It has four wheels, at least it did in the photos. I'm told it has an injan. And a steering wheel. Also, and this is most handy, a roof. I think its pretty long but not so long as to be a long-roof.

Agila Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Well this is fun on a Sunday. 8 hours in and not even seen the thing yet. Maybe you could do this every week? 😆 I'm full of good ideas.

Cord Fourteener Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'm on a train that has a short carriage stuffed entirely with what appears to be a diesel engine but otherwise has electric overhead wire and pantograph power... how odd.

It actually does seem to be electric on some stretches and diesel-electric on others. I realised my original comment may have come across a bit know-it-all, didn't mean it like that, I reworded it after you responded. I mean I've not seen dual power like this before.
