Has anyone added a power truck to the lead car on the K-Line Bombardier cars? If so what did you use?

Thanks for any info.

Why would you want to do this? They are designed for push pull service with typically either a f-59 or f-40 as the motive power.

There is a lead car in the set that is designed to be a powered unit.

There is a control cabin at the end of the train so that they can be used in Push operations with the F-Unit at the other end of the train.

You need to buy an F40PH or F59PHI to use with these cars. You can also use a GE Genesis to operate them if you can not find the others.
