Okay, this is awesome work, Philippe, to see the comparison of the new PF
motor vs the 9 volt motor. As an eight wider, I always lamented the
underpowered 9 volt motor in its attempts to pull heavy, 8 wide consists. But
it wasn’t such an issue because one could always just add more motors. There
certainly were, however, diminished returns in terms of track voltage. We at
the TCLTC used souped up speed controllers, but that still didn’t solve the
problem of overheated, over-worked 9 volt motors.
Though I would never switch to the new track, I would consider retooling with
these superior motors.
I haven’t even checked to see if these are available yet on US SAH.
In any event, thanks for posting!

Ditto, except 6 wide.
Thanks, Phillipe.
