THE BIG TRAIN

Just to test the limits of a Trojan a seven coach train was lined up. It was run double headed up the track with twelve passengers. They coped surprisingly well.

Just to push it to its limits Allan took No. 7 down the line with 14 passengers. It only needed assistance on the up hill curve in to the station. Adhesion being the limiting factor.

   

 

NEXT YEAR???? - yes please Allan.
