Proto 2000 PRR HH1 2-8-8-2 vs LONG Coal Train! 

indeed! theyre a bit light but they run SO smooth!

LOLLL thats a good one

😂😂spying on all the REAL prr engines :))

Its a custom made sound file. I think the original stock file I started from was the "2-10-0" project.

@@trainman440Okay thanks. sounds great!

absolutely, theyre one of the best detailed money for value engines money can buy! very affordable ($180-200 range) for a silent running extremely smooth, very well detailed loco. Just note that its a bit light and most of the details are plastic (not metal wire) so its fragile. Everything i mentioned is true for all other proto steam as well.

@@trainman440 Thanks for getting back to me! I own one of their 0-8-0’s and 0-6-0’s (the 0-8-0’s my current favorite with the 0-6-0 lacking a little in the power department) but I thought I’d expand my collection. Just one more question. What’s the most amount of cars you’ve been able to pull with one of these?

@@BMMEC6000 Proto locos come with traction tire wheels if you find your engines to be lacking in power. the 2-8-8-2 can pull around 40 cars with no sweat. It could probably pull more but my layout isnt big enough

@@trainman440 Just what I like to hear! Thanks for answering my questions! I will now be buying it!

depending on the weight of your cars and the grades on your layout...it can easily handle a 50 car train.

@@trainman440 4.5 grade max, empty 4 bay hoppers to nmra standards

@@richardjayroe8922 thats a hella steep grade! i dont have any track close to that to test on. ill just say this, its a decent puller, for a plastic engine with no trac tires. Make of that what you will.
