Very cool. Ingeniously made and power to all the wheels too.

Looks like a big model. I like this.

Rio Grande and Southern Pacific (now both UP drones) tried several German-made diesel hydraulic locomotives back in the early 60's. They didn't stand up to the 24/7 operation that US railroads do. They were scrapped, don't think any even made it to any museums. Diesel-electric and traction motors - US railroading
