Well, it's a special brand of silliness, apparently, and the absurdity of it all seems to not diminish with time.

I agree. However I repowered/weighted my two centipedes & now they are, by far, the stongest pulling lcomotives I have. They easily pull 25 cars up my 3.08% grade. It was a ton of work to modify them, but well worth it. They are just to cool to be shelf queens!

I've rebuilt/repowered my 2 Centipedes & they wil now outpull anything I have. I've pulled 30 cars up a 3% grade w/ NO problems. It was a TON of work redoing them, but well worth it!!!

30 cars on a 3% grade, add so weight and check the balancing and you might have 50 each.
A stock B-Mann consolidation did 35 on a 2.5% with double and a half S-curves and 3 turnouts. Only reason it did so was because so how it came from the factory perfectly balanced.
