Here is a quick vid of my (currently) BN AZL SD40-2 pulling a short test train up a 2.08% grade (temporary test track):

That's only 8 cars, but it can pull more than that.

PS: sorry for the shaky vid -- I did not have my tripod setup.

They pull really good.indeed.
I'd say 1 SD40 pulls equal to 2 AZL Geeps.

Tunnel motors on Tehachapi? Hmm, sounds like a very interesting idea to me....

Ed

This should be fun to watch develop. Nice printed tunnel! 👍🏻 I kinda wish I had finished my Walong “Tehachapi” Loop, but my Feather River Route keeps me plenty busy these days!

Hi Ed,
Yes, I did have to cut off the coupler box from the truck. It's not hard to do, but it is an irreversible modification.
