EBT M-1 still has its 1927 Brill gasser. It's fun to ride. We had a chance to ride a Victorian DERM railcar (left hand version of an EMC car) in Australia. The gasser had been replaced with paired Detroit 671's but it was a nice ride despite sounding like an "old look" bus. This was in regular service. Phil Mulligan |

https://www.facebook.com/MidContinentRa ... BZay2tvUPl "Mid-Continent Railway Museum 23h Another exciting update on our Montana Western #31's Winton engine! After its successful mechanical restoration, the vintage engine received some cosmetic attention as well. The engine looks and runs as good as new! ⭐ Check out our previous post to watch the engine run! (Pre-cosmetic restoration.) More information on the engine and motor car it belongs to: The Montana Western #31 (AKA Great Northern #2313) is not a locomotive per se, nor a diesel, it is the oldest surviving, and largely unmodified gas-electric car built by the Electro-Motive Corporation. It is powered by a Winton 6-cylinder engine, model 106A, using gasoline for fuel. In 2002, MW#31 was nominated as a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) by ASME Chicago, Fox Valley, and Rock River Valley sections, ASME Region VI History and Heritage, and ASME Rail Transportation Division. The nomination was accepted on June 15th. The public dedication ceremony took place on August 16, 2003."
