A loong time ago, likely prior to the turn of the century, I had a similar situation which was borne out of 'necessity'. Back then, I was running O Gauge trains on floor layouts constructed throughout the house while my parents were enjoying weekend trips to Atlantic City (casinos). On one such occasion, I was running an Amtrak train comprised of six heavy Amfleet coaches (they were made of aluminum) pulled by an E60CP electric made by Williams Electric Trains. This locomotive at the time was built with a single can motor powering only one truck (bogie) and it being a rather inefficient RS540 type motor, it demonstrated a tendency to overheat and weaken, or at least require more voltage than my transformer could supply to maintain speed. In any case during one such session, this motor weakened to the point that the train actually stalled, and to complete the run, I brought in a Conrail diesel with twin RS385 motors to couple onto the E60CP, and tow the train. Because the E60's motor had weakened to the point of stalling against the train's weight, just pulling it with another locomotive allowed it to rotate without binding its worm-gear drive, so the diesel was able to move the entire consist at a normal speed. I have since re-powered and dual-motored the E60 with smaller more efficient flywheel-equipped motors (the original RS540 motors were too large to fit under the E60's pantographs ...which resided on a lowered section of the roof, necessitating a single-motored design), but it's been decades since I last ran it.

When this channel only had a couple hundred subscribers I joined in the party

WOW these are beautiful real like trains and you run them beautifully at perfect speed like real..... Looks beautiful going to look excellent when you get backgrounds

The rail bed looks beautiful

This is so cute

Good story.

Ouch! A car crash on the route? That is a little too realistic! Haha

enjoy all your shows!

Nice trains. I like the GEVO on the front.

So cool!!

amazing C45AH (ET44AC or C4)

Simply railway by mini track is so funny why is it so funny watch it so funny watch it so funny why is it so funny

This is so funny

No HO scale trains? I have some great HO scale train videos you could share. And next time you're stateside and in the SF Bay Area, I'm a board member of one of the nicest clubs in Northern California, if not all of California!

I love N scale but haven’t set up my trains in 30 years….🙄

I don't know what he has or how many frieght cars, but he shouw add weathering to them..

When will zou post next minitrak video?

Have you ever you were in Chicago check out the large model train display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago Illinois?

Why 3 baggage cars? That would be extremely unusual, but of course, never say never!

Mini track by Cybele Railway it’s so ugly
