Not to go to far afield from this good looking engine, but regarding weight limits for large engines, are there any actual tests, or documented circumstances, of scale rail roll over due to overloading?
A retired engineer in our local club commented recently, in actual railroading practice, the only incidents of this he knows about are yard switching problems -where heavily loaded freights exhibit significant side stress in switches.
