Reply to "Ripping up the 3rd rails , ATSF Double head"

Here is the ATSF starting a fairly heavy train. Just the tiniest bit of wheel slip as I laid into the throttle too hard once it stated moving.. I judge I can add four more heavyweights or 10 or 12 freight cars to this train. A little wheel slip starting a heavier train would be cool. She is pulling 6 GGD heavyweights and 10 freight cars of which 4 are brass antiques. When I bought this brass Mikado years ago I updated it with a good size new Pittman motor. It is geared really low and tops out at maybe 45 scale mph.
