Is the 2-8-0 "geared down". I just purchased one and it runs MUCH slower using the same amount of power that my Bachmann 4-6-0. Should I expect this or is there a problem with the 2-8-0? Both run smoothly. Am using Digitrax DCC empire builder. Have not tested either for pulling power.

Some of the comments imply that a 2-8-0 is "geared down". Is this so? I just purchased one and it runs much slower using the same amount of power that my Bachmann 4-6-0. Should I expect this or is there a problem with the 2-8-0. Both run smoothly. Am using Digitrax DCC empire builder. Have not tested either for pulling power.
