Art:
You should find that your SW-1 will run anywhere a freight car will
run, especially if the trucks are equalized.
That was one of the benefits of diesels with the prototype. However,
they found out the hard way that diesels were much harder on track
after they laid off all the section crews.
This is because a diesel wheel and traction motor assembly weighs more
than a set of steam locomotive drivers, and with all that "unsprung"
weight hammering the rails, something has to give.
We as modelers, though, don't have those problems; if anything ours
are just the opposite, getting some steamers to track properly.
