[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by vsmith</i> <br /><br />This would be a first attempt. I have seen it done before, at the original Fairplex garden rr the old gauge 3 locos were all tender driven, they were the only motors they could find. the engines though were very heavy so as not get pushed off a curve or derailed on a switch. <br />[/quote] <br />The old fairplex ones are nice engines. They run pretty well too. Should you choose to use tender power I would suggest keeping everything very well lubricated and don't run them too fast, in addition to wieghting them, of course. <br />Hope this helps somewhat. <br />Scott
