2-8-8-8-2 Triplex and 4-8-8-4 Bigboy with a lash up making an impressive sight as they pull away with a mile of twin bogie hoppers.
Railking and it’s digital command system (DCS) makes this function very simple to operate using their hand held remote in conjunction with the track interface.
Each loco, with a tractive effort of around 135,000lb.would command power of titanic proportions.
One can only surmise that the strength of the couplings must have been the ‘Achilles heel’ rather than available power.
Thanks to MTH for making these engines available in 1/32 scale. Anything larger would certainly make operating very difficult, if not impossible.
