You need to run your engines faster.
Seriously, though, with at least some engines, such as Geeps, when my traditional GP9s and scale GP9s go by at track speed, their differences are not that evident. Granted, these are relatively simple engines in appearance, and the Lionel traditional Geeps are scale in size. LionMaster steam engines have enough detail that, except for smaller size (not really evident unless running with scale stuff), they look great.
