VERY LONG N Gauge train on youtube

I was interested in doing a long train, with my rolling stock after seeing videos of other long N Gauge rains on Youtube… Here is our attempt at a long N Gauge Train at the South Devon Model Railway Society. The loco is a single Minitrix Warship hauling a mixture of coaches. Graham Farish Mk 2, 3 and 4s Dapol Colletts x6 Dapol Auto coaches x3 Minitrix Gresleys x3 Lima coaches x5 There were 50 in total and the loco pulled them with no problems at all, even up the gradient at the beginning on the video. We will return…………

Duration : 0:1:7

I wish I had the room (and stock! hehe) to try for something more adventurous! Can’t beat an old Minitrix loco either. It just shows how far we’ve come when the latest models struggle to shift a quarter of the load the old ‘uns can.

Yes, you’re right …
Yes, you’re right about the strugglin’; this is what you get if you use a ‘plastic-pony’ to do the job of an ‘iron horse’…!
And you are also right: You cannot beat a Minitrix (at least the models I knew 20 years back!!)

Greetings and good luck with the 100er attempt !
