Reply to "set 11-5509-1 (269E) pulling power question (Christmas tin-plate train)"

i can the light finger press and when I set up for Christmas again I'll surely try that.

Considering it's a steamer, "flipping the engine the other way", well, that ain't going to be possible.

It has 2 traction tires on the driver wheels.  Since I only bought the 2 add-on cars after 2 or 3 Christmas layout run time I don't know if it could have pulled more than the original 3 cars when brand new.  I suppose the next logical thing to try is what you say: replace the tires and see.

As for dirty track, not on my layout.  never happen.  I'm really particular about having clean rails.  If I suspect anything I do the old finger-swipe test.

thanks - walt

Just thought of this, I should have started this thread on the tin-plate forum.  Maybe I will reference it somehowoverthere.
