Double heading postwar Lionel

Great video as usual Jim. Think I counted at least 6 Generals on the layout?

I was catching-up on my backlog of reading and noticed an interesting twist on the double-head concept in the Nov/Dec 1936 issue of Lionel's Magazine Model Engineer.
It is a loco developed and actually built by Wm Mason in 1871. The Janus Is a "Double-ender" two 0-6-0 locos spliced together at the cab. The 0-6-6-0 was actually in service a short time, article attached, but no others were built.
Next time I have 2 General locos with broken cab roof corners, I am definitely trying this concept, but will be 2-4-4-2 wheel configuration. Locos would have to be connected and both motors wired to one E-unit.

That was interesting. Never saw one like that.
