Hi Marc,

Not sure how slow is slow but at scale speds of 60, 70 & 80 mph respectively it should travel 18.12 cm, 21.14 cm & 24.16 cm respectively. If it's reaching these speeds then perhaps you are running your other locos at unrealistic speeds.

Regards,

You're absolutely right. I inadvertantly quoted from my N Scale Speed Conversion Table.

Sorry,
