Nachoman- :lol: These are BIG articulated mallets, like 2-6-6-2T's and such. LOL in the suggestion, but they're green/with gold lettering. but yes,, something like that
I got the idea from Collin Garret's Steam book, and in there, it showed small drivered mallets, and It got my creative ball rolling....
Badyin Macfadyi vbmenu_register("postmenu_180239", true); - yes....I believe the head of the state railways is quite portly, but no top hat, or suit, you would be caught dead yearing those in the sweltering humidity!
Sorry it if feels like I'm hi-jacking your post technocrates...I don't intend to!
Technocrates- Perhaps it could be a newly-formed breakaway of mexico, which would allow you to buy some of the hand-me-down locos you want, you could also take advantage of Athearn's new mexican-painted stuff, like TFM and NdeM stuff, not to mention that you could also use first generation diesels along with more modern stuff, which would be uber cool! also it would give you some very interesting scenery options, and one more thing, there's an abundance of untapped natural recources in mexico, that very few people can get their hands on, and with this new break away idea, the railroad could play THE major part of that sort of operation!!
