Prototype Plans For A Narrow Shelf Layout

[shortliner]

Ed, your AUG operation sounds like a cutdown Edgemoor and Manetta - which might also make a good narrow shelf operation. Granted that never (AFAIK) got beyond steam (0-4-0) operation - but if you assume that Cannon Blankets had an upsurge in business due to global warming, and bought one of the small 44-, 45-, 70- tonner diesels, it would make a similar operation - or how about a boxcab electric pantograph conversion with overhead ?
Just thunking aloud really!
