What could be better than a streamlined box cab! This is the American Locomomotive/General Electric/Ingersoll Rand (AGEIR) demo boxcab, probably the closest thing to an art-deco toaster ever mounted on wheels.I'm sure that rounded nose helped split the wind. Especially as she flew along the yard tracks at switching speeds You can read about it, and other AGEIR products at http://my.execpc.com/~jcampbel/ageir3.htmlFrank MusickMoving America into the 19th Century! www.kelticsylk.com
RE: For those of us who like streamliners and boxcabs..
That's an interesting design. Frank, with your EL-2B nearly ready, and I believe someone else hard at work on an EL-C, any chance we'll see a (non-streamlined) Virginian boxcab some day? Mark
RE: For those of us who like streamliners and boxcabs..
Non-streamlined...Is there really such a thing? Streamliners in any form are a kind of passion with me (though fetish might be closer to the truth)...The only boxcab in the works is a Milwaukee EP-3 though I'm also toying with a close cousin...Great Northern's Y-1a, the boxcab in streamliner's clothing... which may get tacked on to the current flock of "Lil Joe" dirivatives.The short answer is no. While I'm thinking of a N&W version of the EL2B, the only other Virginian equipment under consideration is the Triplex and 2-10-10-2 (both far in the future).One question...Is this critter similar to the Pennsy DD class (I hope I got that right)?Frank MusickMoving America into the 19th Century! www.kelticsylk.com
