Right at the end of the video the engine passed a caboose on the other track. I thought to myself, "wow, that engine is no bigger than the size of the caboose." It would be fun to put that engine on one track, then line up some other engines on parallel tracks to show how the length of each engine gets longer and longer. I'm guessing the Big Boy would be the longest engine.
Thanks, Ed. I can see doing that and it might be interesting. For my collection, Big Boy would be the second biggest though. The Big Blow turbine would be the longest, I think. It has two fairly large locomotive units plus the fuel tender. Might have to try sorting them by prototype age to show how they get longer over time, until a technology change starts the cycle over again.

Thanks for sharing. And for the comments ! It's very useful. At least I know it runs better than the shitty Bachmann engine.
I am happy to be of service. We had actually looked at the Bachmann version before we decided to try this one.
I heard the trucks catch on the footboards on imperfect track is that true?
I have not yet noticed that happening, but I will keep an eye out for it and let you know.
@@Rothstein_Model_Trains Thanks! I like your videos.
