Roy.....a Very n i c e smooth video...isn't that amazing the trains engines can pull all that weight and a steel wheel to a steel track.......Many don't know that a diesel train engine merely generates electricity and that runs the large drive electric motors that move it down the tracks...Thanks for the great video too.
Is that true ? I didn't know that . Thought it worked like any other combustion engine .
The Diese engines l turn a generator....the power from the generator....Runs the BIG Track motors !
Speed is regulated by a rheostat....like a dimmer for dash lites on a car.

Yes did you know that the total surface area of all those steel wheels contacting the rails on a train that long is only the size of kids school desktop. Yes, the entire weight of that train is resting on an area of about 6 square feet!!!
