There's always something out there better than stock.

I would post your question as a new topic to get the attention of experienced modelers.

I had to try my Bachmann Spectrum HW's to see if I could push 'em, got three quarter throttle on model power turnouts!!

( I chickened out after that speed )

Obviously it's the right weight and the trucks track well.

I can go wide open with Kato F40PH without derailments. I don't know what SMPH it is.

In real commuting life the C&NW commuters would top out around 60 MPH(West line) in push.

Yes they are awesome cars. I can pu***hem around the layout without any problems,
unlike my Walthers cars, which I can't pull around the layout without derailing.
