I do have a question for anyone out there that knows. I'm wondering how much wieght the LGB 65019 2-6-0 power trucks can handle without damaging the gears. I have about 4 pounds of lead spread out over the loco. I pulls very well as it is. Pulls harder than any other loco I have. It will pull more than my LGB Mikado. I've built it to handle R1 curves, which it does very well, even better than my Hiesler. I've gotten a couple of emails from individuals asking how I made the articulation. [img]http://usera.imagecave.com/capt_turk/G_Scale/100_0167-copy.jpg[/img] I used pvc pipe and fittings. Due to the fact that this thing is so long(32"), I made the joints so that the loco is in three pieces. I was afraid to make it all permenantly hooked together. I was afraid I would end up breaking one of the joints. The wiring for the decoder, and drives, is going to be plug in, and the boiler and cab just set on the drives. It has worked really well in tests so far.
