E O Hammill's Challenger pulling the City of Los Angeles

[Carey Williams]

Hello all
Challenger Steam Engine built by E O Hammill of Portland OR.... completed June 1946 after 30 months of construction.
Challenger with a #4 K&D motor has no problem pulling 12 Pomona Valley City of Los Angeles passenger cars from 1940-41.
Engine and cars are 17/64ths scale for O gauge track .

I added 4 more City of Los Angeles Pomona Valley cars to the consist.. 12 passenger cars look like an anaconda racing around in the basement.

That is a really long train and as you mentioned, the engine has no problem pulling it. Nice video and great build on that Challenger.
