( With all due respect to the folks that love their old fashioned operating charcteristics)From a "prototypical operation standpoint" Pullmor Motors are garbage.
They will never even come close to "can motored locomotives".
Pullmor motors draw a ton of voltage, run hot, and are designed for postwar style racing around the layout. Not switching or low speed operation.
IMO Lionel offers "Pullmor powered" locos with TMCC for the folks I mentioned above. Those who grew up with that type of running, and can now have it with remote control. Thats why they're offered in the PWC sets, because thats how the originals ran.
If Pullmors were still the standard in O, I guarantee I'd still be in H.O. I avoid Pullmor power like the plague.
Someone will chime in saying " oh Pullmor motors will run just as slow as a can motor." No way, ain't true, not gonna happen. It simply is not designed to do so.
