i wish that too but i want see it go fast not this slow

[Starcraft2Freak1995]

CGiordano464 I hate to be a downer but the Erie Triplex was a total failure because of so many issues with the design. Even with that being said i still wish it was preserved for looks. I wish that so many steam locomotives were still around.... *sigh*

thta must of been so cool to see running in real life. they were all scraped tho :(

[drglinski]

I thought I read somewhere that the prototype's maximum HP/torque that wasn't waste was at 5 or so MPH. I could be wrong.

[octane1O1]

@drglinski its about 10mph, it had to do with the exhaust drafting.

I just visited mine in my local hobby shop. It's on layaway and will be MINE December 14! It's "O" Guage

[iinlovejameslafferty]

is it O gauge or 1 gauge?

[Weiberts]

O guage

[octane1O1]

@iinlovejameslafferty the 1 gauge version has a smoking whistle with different ending sounds based on the speed of the engine.

I don't know......seems like a lot of hitching/jerking in the first minute-thirty seconds.....is it supposed to do that?

[UP8633]

@sort187 I don't think so there may have been an electrical problem on it not sure but that is my guess.

[BIGD99daman]
