It's good to see an Athearn Hustler in action. I owned one. Rubber band drive to speed of 250 scale MPH. I could never get it crawl in a switching operation because it would not go below 60 MPH. When light it would justle back & forth until the rubber bands stopped stretching. It had a lot of power. One thing though. In real life it could not pull that much tonnage! May 4 or five cars at the most. Try to keep your switch speeds down to 10mph max and you'll be more Prototypical. Nice Pike
