Sorry to dig up an old topic but....

Lemon power then, ok so the amount of lemons needed to move train power/weight issue. How about lemon power supplying power via overhead wires. Then the loco could be made really light?

Just an idea anyway/

If one were to use Lemmigs to power anything it would be far more efficient to scrap the lemmings intervention and just generate the power by burning its food...
Everyone thinks that hamster wheel arrangements are good ideas but really it is very inefficient considering the energy loss on the rodents part!

Ah yes, but since energy can neither be created nor destroyed (merely converted from one form to another), the Lemming could be allowed to "do it's stuff" - and then burnt! :D
