Howdy Folks,
I acquired an "Old Timer" 4-4-0 Bachmann N scale train set. Still has rapido couplers to give you an idea of age. The loco (Jupiter paint job) runs fine after some Very light lubing and some extended 15 min. run time on a test oval. The issue is the lack of pulling power. Any rolling stock added to the train and the drivers just spin the wheels. Not sure if the motor in the tender gets the weight off the drive wheels or maybe the front "4" wheels take off drive weight by supporting too much loco weight. Rubber traction rings are in place and seem to be viable. Any ideas?

Hi folks,
I have a really tight N gauge DC (old school DC power) layout I picked up at a thrift store. It is really fun. However, even though My EMD GP40 locomotive does "ok" on the micro-layout, it struggles with the 9-7"!  flex track turns on the inside route. I am thinking of the Bachmann GE70 ton switcher with DCC dual because it specs out OK for 7 inch curves.
Pretty sure the 70 ton model #82056 will work on my DC power because of the dual mode. Are the specs correct with the 7 inch radio us curves? It's the only loco I have seen with that recommended 7 in min radius. Just want to see if its correct.
