What better way than with big gas turbines of the UP? !!!

MTH 20-2214 UP #80 COAL TURBINE-Proto-Sounds (Below).

The MTH Turbines are massive beasts! As you can see above, the coal turbine measures in at a whopping 57"! How's that for some BIG O Scale?

Add to the massive size 4 motors per locomotive and you can move some serious tonnage across a pike. I can't wait to watch these monsters pulling long trains.

I have the #80 Coal Turbine as well. I use it to pull my beer reefer train. You are right about the 4 motors. This is a pulling beast. While I do plan a PS3 upgrade, PS1 is good enough to pull cars. FWIW, I tossed all of the traction tires in one loop around the layout the first time I ran it.
