Its funny when you hooked up the second set of cars and it looked like it was struggling. I was thinking there was something wrong or you had momentum on. Then all of a sudden it starts blasting around. Thats like I remember it! Mine was a beast! It pulled probably double that with no problem. I just bought another one for cheap to fix and mod. It's in the mail. I need another project like a 3rd armpit but it will be fun for sure.
Looks great. You should look for one of the Royal Blue 2-8-0 Tyco engines, the detail on them was much greater than the later 0-8-0 that you have. They also had puffing smoke. You can also swap in a Bachmann power chassis(single motor version) from their 44 ton diesel to replace the Power Torq drive.
She's pulling them all with those 10 car's. Great job.
She's doing it's job right out the gate so far
Love that Engine would love to get that engine for my Collection.
I always love this locomotive I been wanting get to find one
Took me a bit to find in good shape.
@@VintageRoadRail The problem is that some of Tyco's steam engines are hard to find without having major problems which makes them not worth buying
I’ll Be Looking forward to get that Engine.

Great video as always! Thank you
Looks like that engine runs really well and it's a beautiful locomotive
Running great. However I think 11 cars is a bit much, best to stick with 6 to 8.
Even the box is cool! Thanks for posting

Nice locomotive, really like the Great Northern colors 👍
I love the shade of green.

I do have a Royal Blue. Its in storage, just need to dig it out.
I have the same one.
Might be too much with the addition 4 car's
Really nice tyco locomotive there! Pulls a lot it seems to try I think?
Thanks. Later this month I'll be showing the Chattanooga Choo Choo train set, same locomotive at this, just all black.
