Using the Scale Speed Calculator, I determined the slowest cruise controlled scale running speed without stalling or stuttering, even up and down grades, is 1.68 mph or 2.69 km/h for my Polar Express FlyerChief Berkshire engine pulling five passenger cars having six-wheel trucks. To me, this is a mindboggling slow crawl for a rtr starter set which lists for $399 and cost me that amount with its additional two car add-on set.
So, what's the slowest scale speed of your favorite rtr LionChief starter set engine, LionChief Plus engine or any other make or model engine?
