Pulling Power of LionChief+ and LionChief

ToledoEdToledoEdOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

My Grandson enjoys running his LionChief+ Chessie "Steamer" (Mikado) and his LionChief "First Responder" (GP38-2)set I picked up at York.  I have a smallish carpet rail line set up in our living room and entrance foyer for his trains.  He also runs "Grandpa's trains" often as well.  Today he wanted to pull two consists I set up for Memorial Day using his engines.  I had my doubts those engines could pull them, but, he was certain they could.  The GP38-2 was attached to a 15 car consist and the LionChief+ Chessie to a 21 car consist.  Both ran around the layout pulling those cars with the same ease my VL Challenger and VL Hudson pulled those consists.  Take a look:

Here's the original video: VL Hudson and NS Veterans' Tribute pulling the same consists.

I currently have the LC+ Pacific pulling 6 post-war 2400 style passenger cars.  These are not low friction modern cars.  Though, they are lubricated.  No problem whatsoever with the pulling power.  I hade run them on a ridiculous grade with no problem as well.  I switched it to a level grade so as to not rip the tires off of the wheels.
