[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by detting</i> <br /><br />I had no problem with 40 cars on level track with mine. I will have to lay more to see how much more it can pull. The rumor is over 113! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />At one of the train shows, BLI demo ran a hundred or so hoppers with no problems as you stated as a rumor. It was in MR showing the A and the train. I would think it might handle a few more on level for sure. <br /> <br />The statement below is a review of the BLI N&W A when it came out. <br />The 2-6-6-4 is comparable to its predecessor, the 4-6-4, and has some improvements: <br /> <br />The whistle is now playable which gives the operator the ability to play short or long notes or in between to better mimic realistic operations. <br />The Load Compensation has been improved. <br /><font size="3"><font color="red">This loco is heavy and really pulls. We tested it with 2 DRY CMX cleaning cars up a 4% grade with no problem</font id="red"></font id="size3">. Three good heavy diesels would be required to do the same job! The die cast loco chassis is already pocketed for a smoke unit if you wi***o install one. A Seuthe #5 will fit and has to be wired to track pickup. <br />Special LEDS provide the directional lighting. These LEDS look like incandescent bulbs rather than the hot, blu-white of other white LEDS! <br /> <br /> <br />
