As Jeff just pointed out, they'd have to be pulled as "dead weight" with the brakes isolated. Dunno if the Teeyay would do it "Branford style" like the frequent "LoArnine" config using radio between two operators to "make it work" ... but if nobody were on them, I could see the BU's being hauled with careful braking "up front."All I'm saying though is that as far as coupling 'em up is concerned, THAT can be done and there is cobbage for it. Back in the "bad old days" you actually did your cobbage with work cars that had different couplers on each end and they were marked so ... "MCB," "H2," "VD" ... if you rummage amongst the old "work train" pictures at Unca Dave's place, those stencilled letters on the work motors will suddenly make sense. Nowadays, they've got them neat "cobs" to eliminate an entire car length. :) |
