Before John jumps on my post, when I said, "The larger the scale, the more parts you'll use, and the heavier it will be," I meant that as "generally speaking." Simple boxcars aren't going to be much heavier at 8- or 10-wide than at 6-wide, for (...) (15 years ago, 16-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains)

(...) We had some luck adding a 9v motor to the tender and pushing the locomotive. We did find that it works best if you remove the internal gearing on the locmotive, though, to help cut down on the friction, thereby making it easier to push. -Elroy (15 years ago, 16-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains)
