To whom it may concern, I have had 1 allegheny pulling 92 cars on a 2 percent
grade and I ran out of cars so I really don"t know how many it will pull.
Thanks Bert cutler

Hi Arden --I don't know haw many cars the 2-6-6-6 will pull, but given Jim K's
remarks I think I will leave it at the railroad's usual train length of 30-35
cars. I have a feeling that if it were to hang together it would pull at least
50 up 2%. It is one sticky loco with those stainless driver tires. Back when I
first got it I was running the bare chassis (no cab/boiler/weight) with the
tender full of sound equipment, and it could still pull 30 cars up 2+% around
44" radius curves! (Now it's your turn to up the story ante!)Have fun!Bill
WinansThat is a coincidence. Last night my Jess Bennett built Big Boy pulled42
cars up The Hill (Sherman) at 10 Smiles per hour without a flinch.Wanna drag?
{:-)I installed a NCE 4 amp decoder in my beast. It draws more power thanour
air conditioner.Arden G (Lodi CA)-------------------No other single locomotive
I have seen will pull as> much at a dead crawl as the 2-6-6-6. I would hate to
see that change!>> Jim K.
