While we're on the subject of vehicles in tandem, here's an interesting pic I found on the internet showing tandem Faun ZR's used as a locomotive on a rail line. Having the back-to-front arrangement would limit you to the speed of the Faun in reverse, but as a stop gap or as a marshalling yard locomotive, I imagine it would have provided some usefullness. Maybe we should start a new thread: Prime movers in tandem.


CHIMO!
