Just out of interest has anyone made any tractive effort comparisons between Bachmann's new 4 axle drive "Peak" and Hornby's 6-axle drive (with traction tyres) "Hoover".
My layout's not big enough for a thorough test, but both seem *very* capable in the haulage stakes.
Season's greetings, John.
Why don't you just load some open wagons up with lead or some sort of "weight," noting the weight of each wagon and thus train and let us know the results.

I could do that for sure, but I'm also looking for *independent* evidence of the relative haulage capabilities of both.

Somebody lend me a Hoover and I'll do it on my garden layout.

Oooh, now there's an offer. Will a Dyson do?

No, 24". It's an ex-GWR layout.
