>>1204105In 1961, British Rail experimented with gas turbine locos, and the weirdest one they made was the British Rail Gas Turbine 3, or GT3.
Basically it has the same wheel configuration as a steam locomotive, with its own tender which contains a large kerosene tank (instead of coal and water which a steam tender would have). British Rail used it for some demonstrations and there is DLC for Train Simulator which allows you to drive a virtual version of this moster. British Rail dumped the idea because they would need to replace the water towers at train stations with kerosene towers. The position of the driving cab, similar to that of a steam locomotice was chosen because that was what drivers were used to already... British Rail was insane in the 1960s...
