(...) I would agree there. You get BENEFIT from having the motor on a heavy vehicle because it reduces slippage. A few random observations. Manfried is right, 3 motors will often give worse performance than 2. And 4 can be correspondingly even (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.michlug)
