The SD90MAC (the best puller of my Katos) will pull 100 cars, but just barely, lots of wheelslip and wont go upgrade. I like powerful engines because I like long trains. The longest train I ever had was at the club. BLI AC6000 on front, followed by the SD90MAC and an SD70MAC. About 100 cars back I had the SD60 and another 70MAC. And on the rear, A dash 9 and the other 70MAC. A bunch of big engines. But it was pretty neat watching a 250 car train go up 2.5% grades[:D]
