The Dolly Sisters revisited

No.. not the famous SOO Line Dolly sisters but my own version. Like the Dolly Sisters, I'm lashing two Alco RS27 in an almost permanent lashup. I've changed history here. The Pennsylvania 2411 and the 2412 were conveyed to the Penn Central then to the Calumet Pipe & Foundry....not the CR

Okay 2411 has QSI sound and 2412 is just DCC motor and lamps. I have reversed the motor connections and the lamps in 2412 so it would run backwards. I programed 2412 to respond to 2411 and set up CV2. I've also added micro plugs to connect the track pickups together in both engines. I now have 16 wheel pickup. My Dolly sisters never stall !

But what can I call them ????? Dolly sisters are taken ?????

Well seeing they are almost permanently joined; why not Siamese Twins?

Dolly does seem appropriate though as it is a great looking pair. ;) Nice work!
 
good ideas

Thanks guys...some good idea there. ;)

I'm very happy with the way they turned out. Now to weather 2412 and I'll be finished.

Here's a picture of the famous SOO line sisters
