The near-mighty SP in Menlo Park, CA had an S Big Boy that regularly
pulled over 100 cars during the monthly open house display for the
club. Scratchbuilt to boot. And, not to be outdone, the truly-mighty
NYC in Los Altos, CA once pulled a 96-car train using three leased WP
SHS diesel units (A-B-B as in CZ courtesy of Reiter Shops), but the
wheels slipped on Ed L's oily track on a 1.4% grade. Probably could've
pulled more with dry track. Serious pullers like stainless steel
drivers. Only way to go........ (Diehards never go away!)
Cheers...Ed L.
