[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite OMYGOD, Fergie, you've got a 5% grade? And the Allegheney wouldn't hack it with only 50 cars? And here, I thought I was okay when my Allegheney rolled off of its tires up a 2.4% with only 30 cars and didn't even wobble. Seriously, I didn't even notice a drop in pulling power when I lost the traction tires, I wonder if it's the same for the UP 4-8-4? Out here in California, in our garages in the wonderful balmy (103) summer Central Valley heat, you're taking your life in your hands if you run a traction-tired locomotive for very long. I have to be VERY careful, even with the fan on. But I see from Jonathan's address that he lives in a colder climate. Just hope his traction tires don't freeze and shatter off this winter. By the way, Jonathan, LOVE the quote at the bottom of your E-mail. I'm using it at school, this year, hope you don't mind. [/quote] Nope, I don't mind at all! Just out of curiosity, what will you be using it for?
