I have a question about the pulling power of the Bachmann Baldwin “Industrial” Mogul 2-6-0. I currently own one and have had no trouble with it on my short stretches of “test track.” I know based on what has been commented on it that its pulling power is limited. Here is my question, When I have my outdoor layout with large stretches of track and at least four curves (5 whatever foot diameter), what type of consist can I expect for it to pull? <br /> <br />I intend to have a pretty level grade (aside from natural settling, shifting and rain damage which will be repaired as needed) no major percents. Can I run three passenger coaches Bachmann make (combine, coach and observation/caboose)? Will it safely/successfully pull two full sized Bachmann Boxcars, a flat car a tank car and a caboose? <br /> <br />It will make a great switch engine when I get my finances together for a Spectrum or Tenth Anniversary Ten Wheeler, but it will serve a duel role. <br /> <br />Any takers? <br />[8D]
