Was wondering if anyone has done this before. Don't know what kind or how much in the way of electronics to expect to find.

Thanks,

I don't think there would be too many electronics other than radios and GPS'. Heck, I'm probably wrong though.

locomotives are almost all electric. They ave a diesel engine that runs a generator for the very large DC motors. Look for large contacts around the motors and lots of small DC relays.

If there are any large silver oxide batteries, I'll take them off your hands. =)
