I'm thinking of sinking what is for me a lot of money into an F40PH-2D and a "The Canadian" 10 car set, but I'm starting to wonder if the loco will even be able to pull that many cars, especially up a 2% grade.
I couldn't find many reviews of Rapido N scale locos (especially ones not made by dealers). I did come across this old one of an FL9 and thats what got me worried: They talk about its pull being equivalent to only 7 passenger cars!
Any thoughts from you experienced hands out there would be much appreciated. Again, this is for me a lot of money and I really dont want to wait a year and find out I don't have a practical ensemble.
