Looks like it moves along just fine! How does it pull? And you really need to post pictures of the layout it was running on

Hi Chris!

pulls good, but a traction tire would help to climb steep ramps!

Nice job, Erich. It sounds very smooth. Those big Pittman motors run really well.

You can use Bullfrog Snot on one set of drivers if you need more traction. http://www.bullfrogsnot.com/

I haven't used it personally, but the testimonies I've heard from guys on another forum have been glowing. I don't think they've had to reapply it. The only drawback is the price, but one jar should go a long way.

My desk was almost shaking with the Bowser, alone! Crazy cool onboard
sound on the Pod. Almost took out an eardrum. Do we some German
rail in there, also? I know RP is a big German fan. We'd love to see more
of that!!
