Hi all,

I have received an email from S@H, saying that my 3 copies of the 10022
Santa Fe Cars have been shipped! This is incredible, since they weren't
supposed to be shipped until 13 september here in Denmark. :-)

Are you going to the same as what you did with 10025? I fear there is too much
weight with the cars. The piece count has to be super high. But maybe I should
buy a new motor.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "Are you going to the same as what you
did with 10025?". But I intend to run all 5 Santa Fe Cars behind my 2 Super
Chiefs. I am also considering getting 2 more Super Chiefs, so I can build a
B-unit. If one motor is not enough for the whole train set, then I will add
a second motor.

Before adding a second motor, put some weight in the loco, as much
directly above the motor bogie as possible. I've added some weights to
my 4551 and Santa Fe and it makes a HUGE difference. Now even the 12V
cars from 7740 are no longer any problem. No need for a second motor
just for 5 cars, specially with the 9v wheels (12v run a lot worse)
