Re: Diesel Arrives in Como

Thanks Tim & Jason for the photos, good to see that the locomotive has arrived in Como. I donated a little to the project, it will be a neat engine when done.
Two questions:
(1) Is there some kind of portable crane to swap prime movers? Just wondering how the old block will be lifted out of the unit.
(2) Are there parts to build an air brake system on the locomotive?
I look forward to seeing more progress on "Molly" (I vote for that name)
