I took some video of my LifeLike A430 and of my Tyco F7A in Rock Island paint going around my 4x8 layout.
The lifelike Alco 430's are lighter than my Tyco F7 thus I need both of them to pull the same amount of cars.
The rolling stock is mostly Tyco, with some LL in there. I recently replaced all of the plastic wheels with metal ones. Much improved.

I like the idea of double heading your Alcos and it's practical. Shoot some more of those Alcos running. Did you say they are Lifelike/ I thought the were originally AHM then Tyco used them in later sets?
Neat!

Argh!!! There I go again being a retard!!!
The Santa Fe Alco 430's are from Model Power, not Life-Like.
I updated the video descriptions.
The discussion was covered here in a previous topic:
