Call me crazy, but I believe there is a limit to how much weight one should stack atop a 9V train motor. My previous V188 double-diesel was solidly built...too much so, for I had to raise the controller up two or three notches just so it could keep up with a 4565-type engine (on separate lines) When you add the weight of cars behind these overloaded engines, the problem becomes all the more compounded. Impressive as the Super Chief is, the design may suffer from being overweight. -Harvey (Talkin' off the top of my head again)
