  • I am sure he was using as much sand to help him get traction! This may sound silly but I am allways trying to improve on things kind of an inventor.On a small engine like this there should be a space left open over the drive wheels so a heavy metal weight could be added and just screw the nuts down to hold in place.This could be done when an extra heavy train has to be hauled.It could weigh don't know 5 tons per side just a guess!!Then I bet it would not be slipping so badly!!!

  • @nkproad777 that too, i have one unlettered

  • @TheMythfox Or modify the 142 model.

  • @nkproad777 Bachmann makes them, but you must order them right from hong kong

  • Someone should make either some ho models of these, or a msts model.

  • @uccemebug Its a foggy day and the rails are slick with moisture. It is one engine and a long,

    heavy train. It takes all the skill the engineer can muster to ease the train forward. Slipping doesn't

    hurt the engine, but there are steel "tires" on each driver wheel around the outside of the cast iron

    wheels. If they slip too much and get hot from friction, the metal "tires" can actually work off the

    iron rims, making a call to the repair crew necessary. It appears Chinese engineers are great!

  • nice!!!

  • Great clips. I hadn't realized that steam engines were still in use in China.

    I have to imagine that the wheels just slipping on the rails is really pretty bad for the engine.

  • Great video, thanks for sharing

  • Awesome! Nice wheelslips!
