I was really surprised how powerful this little guy is....and how noisy when working hard.Nary a slip of the drivers to boot.
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
Did you watch the whole movie? At one point the throttle was opened on the 0-6-0 to help.
But a truly great movie and a great little locomotive, posible "The engine that could!"
i used to work on those two that was the second time the porter pulled our full train. when that was fillmed we had just finnished timing it. 353 did have to open up a little bit to help out. our grade is 2% and with the full train and 353 she needed help. if you have any questions with these two feel free to ask or go to www.rollag.com big boy
Great little movie,loved the sound of her exhaust working hard.
We have a even smaller porter here at our RR park display only but would really be something to have it under sream someday.....ah' one can dream.
