Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe #92 - 1968 FP45 (SDFP45) Diesel-Electric Cowl Unit
"Electro-Motive's FP45 was the last pre-Amtrak passenger locomotive, and the first 'cowl' unit. Unlike earlier cab units, the full-width cowl behind the cab is nonstructural. Only 14 FP45's were built (9 ATSF, 5 Milwaukee Road), but the design led to later cowl units now in service on Amtrak and commuter lines.
In the late 1960's, ATSF needed to replace its aging passenger cab units. The resulting FP45 was similar to an SD45 freight unit, but with full-width cowl, a steam generator for passenger car heating and cooling, gearing for higher speeds, and the famous "Warbonnet" paint scheme. After Amtrak took over passenger service in 1971, the FP45's were rebuilt as SDFP45 freight units.
ATSF 92 (ex-102, 5942, 5992, and 101) was donated to IRM by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (ATSF's corporate successor) in 1997.

Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad Tourist Train
Located at an elevation of 10,152 feet, Leadville is the highest incorporated city in the United States. Founded in 1877 as a silver mining town, Leadville was at one time the second largest city in Colorado, after Denver. Many of the historic mining era building still exist today.
From time to time a group of enthusiasts and collectors of historic toy trains meets in an old engine shed at the station of Erkrath-Hochdahl (near Düsseldorf). The site has been converted into a small railway museum. The tin plate fans set up two extended make-shift layouts (in gauge 1 and gauge 0 respectively) and enjoy running their classic rolling stock. The meetings are open to the public.
Here we see a nice yellow gauge 1 diesel engine; I have yet to figure out which prototype it follows. Anyhow it is pulling a luxurious passenger train which doesn't quite fit; but anything is allowed in tin plate toy country!
The 10.15 Santa special gets under way from Chinnor behind sole surviving 'Clayton' Type 1 no D8568. The paintwork has weathered a little so that the loco looks as though it is in 'everyday' BR condition - nice.

Maybach MD870 engines from "Hymek" diesel-hydraulic locomotives, seen in the scrapyard adjoining Swindon Works during an open day held on Saturday 13th September 1975.
Maybach's classification system didn't refer to the number of cylinders ...in this case sixteen... but was based on their swept volume. There had been an MD865 engine ...swept volume a little over 86 litres... of which the MD870 was a charge-air cooled version. The "UIC" rating (some sort of international railway standard) of these engines was 2,000bhp. Used at this rating the Hymek, under BR's power classification system, would have been a Type 4 locomotive. No BR classification existed for locomotives between 1,750 and 2,000bhp and it is thought that the engines were de-rated to 1,750bhp because, at a higher setting, they couldn't logically exist!
The MD series were highly standardised engines. The MD870 had 6,500 parts, but since many were duplicated throughout the 16 cylinders, there were only 860 different items. Of these only 260 were unique to the MD870, the balance of 600 being common to all the MD engines.
