Real wheel slip, not the dumb sounds from the big boy. My thought for how to implement it would be having a motor that raises the locomotive slightly via the power pickups so it loses traction. I would also like better sounds. Someone get the sound guys to spend tone around a real steam engine. They might learn something.

Both Lionel and MTH have sent their respective "Sound Engineers" out in the field to record Bothe steam and diesel locomotives. For example, the sounds in the MTH SP GS-4 4-8-4 models are from the REAL SP 4449, and the sounds in the Lionel UP FEF-3 4-8-4 models are from the REAL UP 844.

So,,,,,,I'll ask you; have YOU actually been around and/or worked on REAL steam locomotives, such as SP 4449 and UP 844?
