Examining the Bachmann On30 4-4-0 "American"

[hminky]

Contrary to the "Conspiracy" the 4-4-0 will balance with a brass stack. I found my PSC brass Radley-Hunter and slid it over the 4-4-0 stack. The performance of the loco didn't change. No balance problems. And yes it is way too big.

After a lot of complaints about the loco's size, it turns out that the 4-4-0 is just the right size to wheel the tipical NG "accomodation" (combine + 1 or 2 coaches)...  which brings me to my questions, has anyone given the loco a tractive effort test?
