    Kato locomotives different speeds

    Thank you for your help. I was gonna do the opposite and have the faster one pull the slower one but after reading your post I can see why my idea doesn't make sense and your idea is more sound. I will do that.

    Kato locomotives different speeds

    Hello guys, I need your help with this problem. I just purchased a Kato GE AC4400CW on ebay and it's used. It runs great at slow and fast speeds. I also purchased a new Kato GE C44-9W on ebay as well. The problem is, I'm currently running a DC system but the locomotives run at different...

    Trains from the attic

    I have a question; In N scale, are bigger steam engines also stronger? Does a 4-8-8-4 pull more than say a 4-6-2? Do they just have a generic motor they throw in all the different models within a brand? Well I just bought a 4-6-2 engine made by Model Power and it runs really well. It's a...

    Trains from the attic

    Thank you guys. Unfortunately all the engines were far gone. None of them worked. On one of them I actually removed the motor and ran it straight but it didn't rotate correctly, it rubbed against one of the magnets. The rest were the same way. I don't believe motors go bad just by sitting...

    Trains from the attic

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to the hobby. I bought a Kato starter kit and it's a lot of fun. My friend had a bunch of trains stored in the attic and gave them to me but they're really old. There's about 5 locomotives but none of them will run. When I place them on the track...
