| (...) I wish I could help you out, but I'm of no use in things of this matter, Dave! BUT, whenever I have questions of this nature, I go to the guys at (URL) Scale Rails Online> . They are a terrific group of guys and I'd bet they'd answer any and (...) (15 years ago, 28-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Mark, sorriely I have broken down the small rig after the test series, so I have no quick access to a wider testing procedure..... (...) The speed of the Emerald is clearly much lower in comparison to 8866. If you run 8866 at a reduced speed (...) (15 years ago, 28-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains)

| Recently my father gave me several boxes of O-Gauge track, a transformer, two powered engines, a dummy engine, and about half a dozen cars of various sorts. I hadn't seen the whole arrangement in about 20 years, and I'm not sure when he last had it (...) (15 years ago, 27-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Ben, with your rig, how does the 8866 PF Train motor compare with the 10153 motor, for various masses of loco (say no-load, kids' train load and AFOL train load)? I've tested the Emerald Night carriage with an 8866 motor and found that the (...) (15 years ago, 27-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) The quality of the rubber is definitely a critical factor for friction, but it is not the only factor. I've found with a normal 10020, one motor, pulling a few Santa Fe coaches, the wheels will spin excessively (especially if you have a slight (...) (15 years ago, 27-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

An interesting test would be the new motor with the old ridged tracks (since they are compatible). You may get really high traction. (...) (15 years ago, 25-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I have tried to minimize this by using high diameters. It would also be (...) (15 years ago, 25-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
