Strength of an 08


Silver Fox 17

Recommended Posts

Having been asked how much will an 08 pull and not having a proper answer I had a go tonight and this is about the maximum to go around the tightest bend on the layout.   On the straight and larger radii it would pull more.

To show it is not struggling going slow I set the controller to about 2/3 rds for the faster clip.

I think that the real thing can move a lot of wagons too (low speed, high torque).  I've seen an 08 moving at least 10 carriages at the depot adjacent to Alexandra Palace station (after the model railway ex) and I'm sure it could handle more.

Certainly 28 wagons should be more than enough for most people.

I hope the motor is OK!
