This is every Stainz that I could quickly get to run, All Multi-Heading

There are 20 Stainz here
 
Very nice! :)
Did you measure what sort of total current that little lot was drawing....?

it was running off my 25A radio supply, took just over 11 amps acording to meter
 
Great fun, did I count 20? You should go for the Guiness book of Records with that little lot. If someone beats you, there are another 30 to get running to Trump them with.

Limit I can get to run without jumping couplings is 24, After that length gets too long and coupling jump on curves
 
Wow! A swarm of Stainz - I guess it is (as has been said) a record. I wonder how many locos, travelling coupled like that, there have been in the 12" to 1' world? Even a string of "dead" ones travelling to Woodhams would surely not have equalled that!
 
Ahhh well nowww, technically it could be a dodecuple header (!) EXCEPT that its not pulling anything.... so its the worlds longest G scale light engine.

love it :D
 
Stainz, Stainz, I can't stainz it no more [e]356[/e]
 
After some Serious Testing This is my Latest Atempt

25 Stainz Locos, 19 four wheel coaches and a Post Van

Fantastic to watch - the sound is a bit painful to hear, a few of them seem to be protesting a bit, maybe being pulled or pushed faster or slower than they want to run! It'd be quite an interesting experiment to keep them all on the track, but instead of coupling them together have them all two or three feet apart (if the length of your layout allows that much!) - then see which ones catch up or lag behind.... my guess is that they'd all be bunched into a coupled train again within a lap or two.... ;)

The horrid sound is the Pair of Growlers, amoungst the herd

i've tried running small groups takes 3-4 laps for them all to join up
