(...) That does follow from electrical theory. Two motors draw more current, which is going to result in a larger voltage drop over the rails (since V=IR). Of course since we don't have an ideal power supply, the actual calculation is not quite so (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

I'm not sure I understand the question exactly, but they all have the same motor. It's just incorporated differently into the engine model. The 4559 does not have the motor connected by a bogey plate, like the 4565, if that's what you're asking. It (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
