I suspect hardly anyone has the room to test this out. I have mu-ed a BLI M1a with a BLI Heavy Mike, both engines can handle a cut of 15 cars up a 3% grade. Under DCC both engines had no trouble with a 24 car consist. However space limitations kind of put a damper on what can this set really pull? I have a A-B-B-A set of analog Life like Proto FA-2's all powered. There is no question that I can stack 100+ cars on this thing and get it started. The biggest train in HO I have started to date is about 64 cars with a AHM 2-8-8-2 and a Riverossi Big Boy. Together these two locos managed to get the train moving but would need a REAL engineer to drive the train over hill and down dale.
