Reply to "Pulling Power."

hello guys and gals 

l have Williams F-3 ABA # 2347 (Blue bonnet Santa Fe's) with 6 motors and 12 traction tires and 24 wheel drive and metal gears.  Each unit is 4.5 pounds and l have put E-unit in each unit as they can run by them selves if wanted to.  I run them together and takes about 5.1 amps @ 12 volts using the Z4000 going about 60 smph ( less than 1 amp in each motor).  They are my most powerful O gauge 3 rail locomotives.  I have thought of adding another powered B unit but its way over kill and might make red light come on on the Z4000.  I believe it will out pull the BB.  It cost me about 655 dollars for ABA set and 2 power kits, stick on weights ( to balance the 3 units to be close of same weight within each other), LED lights. The 3 units are 39 inches long and i can add 1/2 pound more in each unit making it 5 pound each if wanted to get serious about pulling !!!  I have 48 spare tires for them just in case !!!  LOL.   Its lot cheaper than the VL BB.  I call it a diesel big boy.   I am still looking for a simple diesel horn kit that Lionel made in 90's as it a simple 2 wire hook up ( why not put horns in all 3 units ? LOLOLOL), have some for sale ?
