    Note: if this link does not work, go to the examples page above and click on the photo


    Now THIS is the way N steam should be designed:

    1. Adequate weight in the tender
    2. Precision gearbox in the locomotive
    3. Powerful motor w/flywheels in the tender


    eNjoy :cool:

    Now if this gentleman can accomplish this and retain the stock tender why can't MDC provide a tender that looks prototypical on their new release? This is awesome!!! :D
