Egilman Posted December 30, 2020 #2 Posted December 30, 2020 So it's rubber powered, does it actually roll down the tracks? or does it just turn the wheels as a display of the mechanicals?

Wahka_est Posted December 30, 2020 #4 Posted December 30, 2020 I did their other train. Love what they have developed. I moves on tracks etc of you assemble it accordingly. Im sure you will love it. mtaylor, Egilman, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote
Egilman Posted December 30, 2020 #5 Posted December 30, 2020 Very Cool!!! A 4-6-2 "Pacific" Locomotive which runs on rubber bands on 8' of track.... The real deal..... They were used all over the world and were the last steam engine used for passenger service... The world speed record for a steam powered locomotive was set with this type, 125 mph.... Locomotive & tender was usually about 70 ft long (depending on design) and the kit is 22" from their website.... That makes it approximately 1/38th scale.... Impressive.... Most impressive.....
