Does that mean multiple coupled locomotives or separate driving locomotives first in the train? Multiple driving or multiple operation means that the same driver operates two or more tractors in the same train.
I'm pretty sure it's not that specific. Any consist with two (or more) powered locos on the front should work - and something behind, or else it's a power move. Married pairs aside I don't see a difference from an F7 set. Due to "heading", elephant style feels a bit more correct. Also no MUs as they aren't "headed" (Class 101 and 421 had one trailer in a four car formation). Although, legal edge case, a random loco assisting to pull an ICE 1-2 would technically count. Standard solution is an everyday freight with multiple locos or most Amtrak long distance trains, a nonstandard one would be something like a diesel-electric combo such as an offline ACS-64 leading a P42DC on the NEC, happens during seriously icy conditions. Also, two different steam engines, exotic diesels, or a combination of those could be nice, albeit the latter may not feel it, e.g. the UP steam consists including an SD70 assist. ps.: Will remove this once we have some entries. Keeping it up just in case someone is looking for ideas.
Or this, under slightly brighter conditions. (This pic is actually quite a cheat, knowing standard direction of travel and looking at the smoke. These are rear DPU. But hey.) Both pics Horseshoe Curve, this is F7, those are GP7.
Probably not a winning picture but here are ÖBB 1016 in doubletraction on Tauernbahn with the moon in the background
I set out to recreate this event at Newcastle, where a goods train developed a fault approaching the station and had to be assisted by whatever was available. East Coast Mainline, Peppercorn K1 and Gresley A4.
Some brilliant shots of double heading well done all. This weeks winner of a recreation of a picture which I love is this with a A4 helping a K1 by snapnfix , congratulations! Have a great week everyone Next Weeks Contest : https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsc-screenshot-contest-december-2023-week-47.76803/
