(...) Thank you Paul I really liked your Ralston Purina Boxcar. I bought a couple from Factory and would recommend it to anyone! - fun to build and great to look at. It was an absolute coincidence when I bough them but our cats eat Purina food - I (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I found (URL) this pic> on BS today and it reminded me that I have some of these too. It looks like they just got the colours mixed up on the production line. I got mine in a service pack ordered from the yellow pages in the back of the catalogue, (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) You could also put two motors under one of the A units (I did that with my CNW f-unit, though I can't find any good pictures to prove it). I've pulled over 30 cars with the normal LEGO magnets, but it is pushing the limit of their strength. (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Your pdf conveys everything (the parts list helps with finding the missing parts). Your effort (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Two motors should pull that train comfortably, so long as all the wheels are rolling freely. I'd put one each on the first two units. A third motor would be an advantage if your layout has lots of turns. When adding a third motor, it's a good (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) With 7 cars, I think 2 motors is plenty, I'd leave the B motorless. When pulling a longer train, it can be necessary to add a motor in the middle of the train, because the magnets just aren't strong enough to pull a long train (yes there are (...)

I have a Super Chief that I've been taking to TexLUG meetings which currently has 2 locomotives (A's) and 7 cars. Each of the locos has a 9v motor each. I've been looking to aquire a third locomotive so I can make a B unit (to make an A-B-A config) (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains)
