We all know the regular Tender wheel slip from a stopped position, but the "In Motion" wheel slip is super cool when running the engine. Looks awesome running up a grade. Check it out.
I'm sorry, but I think that it the silliest thing I've ever seen on a steam loco model.
When the drivers slip on a real steamer, they don't just stop slipping by themselves. The engineer has to shut off the throttle to stop the slip, then widen out on it again to keep moving. And it is a serious situation, not something "cool."

Good grief...
LOL, it's just a toy and fun. No one will be hurt by my model train.
Come on Rich. Give us a break here. Yes, they are supposedly scale replicas but to us they are still toy trains running on 3 rail non prototypical track. Spin those wheels baby. I love it.
