Great machines! I've seen a clip of them operating and they work with such crap coal it's practically dust. I wonder how they go with some proper high quality coal in them

IIRC, they were painted red to spot defects easily.

Really? Interesting. And "IIRC" are the wheels? ^^° Sorry, I'm not an expert.

Looks like they're pulling some old Montreal commuter rail cars.
