Does anyone know approximately how many cars one of the HO GE44 Ton Diesel Switchers will pull? Thanks.

I have the GE 44 Ton. Drawbar force was tested at about 1.5 ounces, which equates to 15 easy rolling cars before stall, however I do not recommend pulling more than 8 cars maximum.

The real thing typically pulled one to five cars.  The Bachmann model is more than prototypically capable.

Please note that the figure Bob mentioned is for well running cars.
