Review: Looks and run great - Have been using Loco for several Months. It has great detail for a small size. On a 34 inch loop of oval track I put as many cars on as the track could handle (23) and the Loco pulled them with no problem but High speed was a little slower than with no cars, so sure it could pull more on a larger layout. As a second test I ran a second Loco Back to Back like you see on the Big Trains. I had to remove a couple cars to fit the Second Loco in. This combo would pull a ton of cars on a large layout. More than I have for sure.
Review: N scale locomotive. - Extremely happy with purchase.
