On30 / ON30 Bachmann Steam Locomotive Pulling Power
January 31, 2013, 06:40:52 PM
I'm sure this question has been answered several times over the years. Do the motors in current 4-4-0, 2-6-0, 4-6-0 and 2-8-0 models all have the same pulling power with regard to rolling stock? Does anyone have an estimate as to how many cars a single locomotive can pull up a 4% grade without losing speed? If I double head (use two locomotives) would that double the number of cars? I am just starting on a new ON30 layout for the first time.

Thanks for the feed back... Ron
