Extra facts just cause:
It turns out that PRR 4751 was formerly BB2 3912. It was built in June 1926 by the PRR's Juniata shops, using Westinghouse electrical equipment, and was set up for third rail DC work. It developed 570 HP individually. It was split from its partner 3913 in 1933 and classified as a B1. The locomotive was renumbered to 4751 in October 1966 in anticipation of the Penn Central merger. It was retired sometime in 1975, after 49 years of operation.
I'll have to take photos, but if only it were that easy. In this case, the motor is "suspended' over an semi-hollow fuel tank. Isolating in that fashion may not be enough.
I wonder how hard it would be to find the right size screws in plastic? Thats the only way I see this plan working.
