Quote from: 3rdrail on July 16, 2008, 08:48:58 PMBefore we hear about the lack of pulling power, this locomotive had 350 HP, less than many automobiles, so don't expect much out of it.As one of the more vocal complainers about pulling power in some models.....6 40' boxes on level track, 2 up a 2% grade and I would call it a success. I think you could probably get to 10 and maybe 4 in N scale with tinkering. Less than 4 on the level would be a disappointment.On the level I'm going to guess that is about half of what they could have done in real life, but also more likely the level they were likely to be used to move around. On the grade, I have no idea how well the prototype did....

Is anyone else upset that all these new locomotives come with DCC?I mean if you want DCC that is fine. If mfg's want to make the wiring so that it will be easier to drop a decoder in that is fine. Making it so I have choice but to pay for a decoder, that ain't fine. :-\
Did I miss something here? ???
