I am cosidering getting a LGB Forney (D&RG) and am wondering what it will pull? Calling it a "workhorse" while pulling 5 cars doesnt seem appropriate. I regularly pull 7 cars with my old Stainz 2020 that came in my starter set. Will the Forney pull a 15 car load?
Personally, I would not pull that many but perhaps in could handle it on a level run with broad curves. Make sure you keep it properly lubricated with plastic-safe oil and grease, and check those plunger-style electrical wheel pickups that have a tendency to hang up inside their mounts.
