Standard “Green” freight Engine.<\/b><\/h1>\n

<\/b>\"\"<\/p>\n

A second motor has been added.\u00a0 These have 3 channels, so by selecting 2 or 3 to the same channel, it is easy to control a long train.\u00a0 My long box car train has 4 of these and my container train has 2.<\/p>\n

A second motor has been added.\u00a0 These have 3 channels, so by selecting 2 or 3 to the same channel, it is easy to control a long train.\u00a0 My long passenger train has one at the front and one at the back.\u00a0 In both cases the extra over hang was removed so the engine could turn corners properly.\u00a0 So there are 3 engines on the bullet train: front, middle and\u00a0 back.
<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The middle bullet train engine is different.\u00a0 It started with a standard engine base but was built to look like a passenger car. SO there are 3 engines in total on the bullet train.<\/p>\n
