So this?
Yes
I don't think theres any 2-2-6 Diesel steam hybrids
There aren’t
There light be some 2-2-6 steam locos, but I highly doubt that
A Mason Bogie maybe
two drivers and six trailers?? I highly doubt that
I dont think anything that rolled out of mason machine works had less than four drivers
Not a working concept, too much hastle, hard to model, weird mechanics
I am aware of it not being the best source, but READ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_diesel_hybrid_locomotive
A steam diesel hybrid locomotive is a railway locomotive with a piston engine which could run on either steam from a boiler or diesel fuel. Examples were built in the United Kingdom, Soviet Union and Italy but the relatively high cost of fuel oil, or failure to resolve problems caused by technical complexity, meant that the designs were not purs...
The one that is mentioned at the top of this thread worked, it maynot have been as powerful, but it worked. what killed it was supposedly the price of oil vs the price of coal at the time.
And if someone wants to try and jank those mechanics together, let them.
