Do you guys (or will they have to) load tank engines over there?
Just imagine loading an ALCO up with full simulated load (thru a bank of resistors) in notch 8 for an hour, the load tank was my favourite place to be back in the SAR Islington Workshops, all the noise and smoke, it was magnificent, just like being on the mainline only stationary.
