Myself, a boxcar loaded with supplies, the LALS super-heavy bench car, and a riding car with my conductor. That LALS car was about 4 regular cars... :-)
Thanks! This meet was the only one where I never derailed. That's a tall order for a Mikado with a lightweight pilot. Takes a lot of maintenance to keep the switches correctly adjusted.
What kind of a load were you pulling up the grade through the tunnel? Great video!

dude that hill is so hard to climb with 1.5" scale loco's.... you have to build speed for that hill... but your lucky that you have traction....
but besides that... awesome vid man!

My main problem was the weight of the LALS bench car. Weighed a ton! Except for that we would have made it a lot easier, perhaps with passengers...
