CW4400 Kato Locos Pulled 156 Ore Cars


Ron has contributed this info about his layout:

I model in Australian N Scale and have a set of two Pilbara Rail locos and 106 ore cars.

I exhibited the rack at our model train show in June this year in Perth and the person who produced the ore cars for me added his 50 wagons (total 156) and the length of the train was 10.1 meters (33 feet) from lead loco to last car.

The two CW4400 Kato locos pulled it around non stop for two hours.

Congratulations Ron! And, thank you for sharing this with others.

John who made the wagons adds:

“And I tell you that they ran excellent for a home made casting too with Microtrains bogies! I was very surprised that they ran so well!”
