Literally scrapped because of a refrigerator.
>>2017281>scrapped because of a refrigerator?Anyway, here's this beauty:>built 1947>withdrawn 1956>scrapped 1959
>>2017502>owner spends 2 decades buying various equipment to use on excursion runs>breaks his back moving refrigerator>hatches plan to wait out the railyard owners into scrapping it>sues for large sum of money to fix fucked finances>court says no money for anybody>court legally requires railroad to destroy it on sight
>>2017779So did he own the loco itself at all? Why did the court ultimately come to that decision?
unreliable handicraft pieces of shit with pneumatic throttles and internal maze of wire and solenoidbut god damn they worked barely 10 years and at least one pair should have been saved
The only locomotive made by Ingalls Shipbuilding
>>2017932interesting variant on the bulldog nose front anon>>2018064horrifying triple window bulldog, they should've stuck to making ships
>make the most kino metropolis streamlined loco>none survivedwhat the fuck was their problem

>>2017918I don't think he had anywhere else to store it, and the yard it was in wasn't his property.
>>2017932I heard each of those big niggers was wired differently, so no one was alike. Imagine that maintenance nightmare.
>>2018406every year of the second generation Toyota Supra has a different wiring harness so if you buy any electrical shit used it has to be from the same year
>>2017932>how many axles should our bogies have?>"Yes"I always love those strange designs
>>2018405Ah. Figures. Pity anyway.>>2018783Sounds like a dick-move from Toyota.
>into traffic 1950>incredibly noisy >looks like a class 37 fucked a steam loco>suffers breakdown and gets sidelined for a while>back into service, then catches fire and destroyed>straight to scrapyard, gone by 1960.
>>2018964A lot of the 1st gen BR diesels were extremely unreliable and prone to serious failures or just catching fire, it's a shame but not that surprising not that many survived into preservation. The late steam BR locos being mass scrapped was criminal considering most had barely even reached a quarter of their useful lives and were increasingly some of the most reliable and efficient steam locos built like the Class 4s and 9Fs.

>>2018406they were, Baldwin built them one at a timePRR had to rewire everything during maintenancestill somehow NdeM had more care for them and kept them around longer
>>2018064The one prototype was apparently well liked by crews from what I remember
>>2018274The loss of all of the NYC Hudsons is a death sentence worthy crime.
>>2018274they realised too late they'd built a gigantic penis on wheels, complete with glowing urethra
>>2018964>what a motherfucker has to do to avoid diesel-electric
>>2018405A local railroad Museum was more than willing to move it
The idea was good.
