RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted October 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2014 here's a dumb question. does the tractive effort of model locos actually combine in the same way as real locos when double heading? Were your 6 locos hauling more than one could? Interesting one Colin My gut feeling is yes but will have to get a spring balance out to prove it Phil Hi Phil, I can add to my own question. Slightly less scientific than the spring balance, but I was messing about testing a spiral for my new layout and decided to try a quick double head. A Dapol terrier piloting my Hornby M7 managed to get up the spiral with a load that neither of them could manage on their own. My conclusion from that limited evidence is yes 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted October 27, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Some more of Brian Thomas's super early 70s pictures The first one emerged at the 85A open day on Saturday Oh yes! That's 44006 on a down freight just to prove they did make it And that's a 45 on - Bolster Es again. Going in the right direction but cant read the headcode - could be the Llandeilo Jct to Langley Green working... A nice split box 45 passes the 4 track section - the nearest track is just a kick back siding, only ever remember seeing scrap stock stored in there And finally for tonight 8197 leads a class mate south on hoppers Thanks again for sharing Bri!
