Don't be so hard on us shortlines! I'm assuming the 3194 still has a high hood to house the steam generator. Removing this much weight would require a certain amount of ballast to be added and if the hood was chopped even more to maintain the concentricity of weight distribution and prevent wheel slip, as I'm sure the unit has the standard thru-cable/relay wheel slip system.


Sale to a shortline (or better lease) could specify what could be done to it. Sure, you might have to give up a little cash to preserve its history. By the way, is this one of the Geeps that had dual controls?
