How Many Cars will an N Scale Bachmann 2-8-0 Consolidation Pull?
Im building an N Scale Model Railroad and I plan on buying this engine. Im going to use it to pull atlas trainman 70 ton Santa Fe ore cars and I need to know how many I can pull with this engine on an over under figure 8 loop. Im using the Bachmann N Scale Pier set to set the height.
While I can't answer your question directly, real railroad grades were generally up to 2% (1 foot rise in 100 running feet = 1%) Anything more than that was pretty a steep grade. Model railroad planning is not much different. I am guessing that any pier set as you mentioned would much be a steeper grade that 2%. If you kept your grades realistic the cars you could pull would also be more correct.
I have seen especially N Scale locomotives pull more cars than the prototype locomotive they are representing. I guess it is a physics thing.
