Mogul Efficiency:

FM Former Member

 

Hello,

 

With my new brass Mogul coupled to its consist, it requires just 3.5 volts on the track to get the train moving, but my GP-60 needs 7 volts to move out.

 

This reminds me of the complaints from the old Steam hoggers when they had to transition to Diesel:

 

"You have to wait 'till the Diesel builds up the RPM to get enough drawbar pull to get moving, but with the Steamers, I just shoved the Johnson Bar forward, yanked out the Throttle, and the power was at the drivers rat now, no waiting!"

 

Yep, with 250-300 PSI in the boiler, operating through the full piston stroke, you could spin the drivers with no trouble!

Sure, Engineer Joe...I realized that.

 

I was just referring to the response after the command, which is quicker with Steam in the world of the Prototype.

 

This doesn't mean I'm gonna throw rocks at my Diesel, because after all...it has SOUND!

 

When my Mogul is fitted with a decoder, it won't be a dragster either, BUT it'll have that Whistle, that Bell, and that Chuff that I want to hear.

 

And yes, my GP-60 IS a Gold!
