can you really load four containers on a well car?

[MrkmTrainFAN]

@claire1667 In my opinion, no, in the interest of safety, no.

But thats the way Athearn sold the kit, so I'm sticking to that.

Was that the UP that Al Mayo weathered?

[MrkmTrainFAN]

@lespaulguy32 It is the one and the same.... Wasn't easy to get. Over paid a bit on ebay. But then, how can you really put a price on a work of art :)

[MrkmTrainFAN]

It was going from throttle 2 - 5, if you do watch it does speed up a bit, maybe a bit of an exageration in the title :)

You should be able to get 4- 20ft containers into a 40ft well car. I've seen that before in real life consists rolling down the tracks. 2 locked in on top & two on the bottom.

It looks very nice on your layout and cool crossing too!!

@tjmfishing Maybe the new containers loads are slowing down the train.... :-p

(just kidding)
