Did you know that locomotive was built in 2 1/2 hrs buy the U.S. engineers during WWII. When i read about that i was surprized even though it's a small loco that was still fast.
I held it back a bit with my hand - it wasn't overly powerful, but then it was its first time out. After running in it should pull a half dozen small cars.
You'd figure these engines would be a bit stronger then that, considering they were shipped to Britain to help out with the War Effort on Narrow Gauge Railways. One of them was located at the Snailbeach locomotive shed.
This one is O gauge, Accucraft also made them in 1 gauge (G gauge)

That seems surprising, but everything was built fast in the war. B-17 bombers and C-47 transports were built 2 per day.
