I posted a you tube video sometime ago of a SWM Atlantic pulling 5 or 6 of
the brass SWM Harriman cars up the 1.5% grade on the Menlo Park clubs layout. I
must confess that I did rework the trucks on the passenger cars. I also had to
shift and add weight to the locomotive. I made a pattern and cast a new lead
truck so the lead truck wheels will no longer bang into the steam chest on
tight corners. I never installed DCC or sound in mine though. When I did all
of the rebalancing and increasing the weights in the boiler. I made moulds to
cast the weight sets for the locomotive. I think I still have them around here
somewhere. At one time I had 8 of the Atlantics but I have since sold most of
them.
