This is a follow-up to my previous post (29 June 2018) about the newly released N-Scale Bachmann 2-8-0 Consolidation that is equipped with a factory installed sound decoder.  To show some of its pulling power, the 2-8-0 is leading a freight train of 13 cars from Elizabeth City (Tulsa) (at the top of the center peninsula) east to Union Station (KCUS).  On its trip west (not shown), the engine easily pulled 11 cars on the flat portions at speed step 2 & 3 and up the branch line over the top of the west helix (about a 2% grade) at speed step 4 without any issues.  The return trip east was all done at speed step 3 until just outside Union Station where it was slowed to speed step 2 to enter the yard.  Overall, I am pleased with this engine and would recommend it.
