Im glad we were able to save SP #9010 for preservation. Its a lone survivor. It operates under its own power. All the other ML-4000s from Krauss-Maffei were scrapped.
Does it still have a single prime mover or did they finally get a second one for it? Also I have recently received two models of the car body style of the ML4000, I prefer a sound decoder that doesn’t have the maybach prime mover noises but I could use a decoder with either dual 567 or dual 645. Which would be more realistic to have been retrofitted into one of these if possible. I’m leaning towards the dual 567 as the dual 645 has turbo and the model doesn’t have a turbo exhaust stack.
The second engine is present, but not in great shape. The second transmission was gone before we owned it, and they are made of unobtanium so 9010 will forever run on one engine and one transmission. That is all we need anyway.
@@CRHPhotog oh I bet you guys have the talent to build a new transmission! There's nothing buffs can't do when they set their minds to it! 😉 Check out the Brits diesel rebuilds/new builds for some inspiration. Anyway, a really lovely job on a worthy locomotive. Maybach power unit sounds familiar... like the BR class 52s I used to see as a kid, they had two motors and hydraulic transmission.

Realy nice work guys, It looks like it just came from the factory.
OHH YEAH!!!!! ITS ALIVE!!!
Finally the Diesel-Hydraulic is back in operation as a functional locomotive!!!

It has a second Maybach engine. However the second engine isn't operational.
are there any plans to find a second engine & drivetrain for it, or will it just keep the rear power unit?

Any videos running alone ? ( without 5472 )
Not yet...
Sucks that this is all for nothing (California is banning diesel trains by 2035)
Hopefully it gets moved.. We all know California sucks anyway
