For anyone who might be interested:
I put together a little test set up and found the following:

At 12V dc (Half wave) the loco draws 0.45 amps just before wheel spin and 0.6 amps in a locked rotor (motor stalled) condition.

Hi all,
I forgot to mention that I will be running this loco analog. Sorry about that oversight.

Hello,
Could you tell me what the full load (just before wheel slip) current draw is for the 2-8-0 Consolidation. I am trying to size an analog throttle correctly.
Thanks for your help.
Hal

Thanks for your input.
After doing some tests I am happy to report that the 2-8-0 Consolidation negotiates very happily an Atlas #4 crossover setup.

Hi all,

Does any one have experience in running the 2-8-0 reliably through #4 turnouts from various manufacturers?

Thanks for any info.
