First off, thank you! Two months cradle to grave was intense! I really saw the contest did some research and went to work. My brother and I did our first tests after taking all the photos, and YES! She can pull all 5 cars! The gearing is definitely set up more for power than speed. In time I would like to re-gear her and keep enough power to pull all 5, but also pick up some speed. In time we will see the full capabilities of PF but for now we are happy we completed it in time for the contest.

ENTERED READING COMPANY IRON HORSE RAMBLE In the fall of 1959, the Reading Railroad decided to run a limited number of steam-powered public excursion trains, dubbed "Iron Horse Rambles." The train is modeled after the first Ramble on October 25, 1959, nearly fifty years ago. Reading's T1 No. 2124 is pulling Reading Company's 408 combine, 1424, and 1474. The rear of the train is nostalgically marked by the two lanterns and the iconic drum head which reads "IRON HORSE RAMBLES, READING RAILROAD" Many more detailed photos can be found on my Flickr Gallery. -Joshua
