    I have had the Hornby 8f's pull 40 wagons with ease the black 5's can only manage about 7 Bachmann mk1's The most i got with the Bachmann mogul's are about 5 mk1's and the Hornby brits the most they can cope with is 12 mk1's I have not added weight in any loco they are as they are when they come out of the box. The track I use is code 75 I have been happy with how they run mark

    Jason the motion was a bit fiddly to do but I had magnifying goggles on my lom thought I was mad lol. It took 3 night shifts to do and 2 day shifts ( joys of being a signaller) if you look for 44767 it will bring you on to it I don't know how to put a link up for it sorry buddy I also use Gibbson wheels they look a lot tidier then the Hornby ones and brass master detaling kit as coachman model shows they look stunning
