I made my emerald night faster

[Carefree_Dude]

This is a pretty easy gearing change you can do that will make your emerald night faster without sacrificing much power.

I don't have any pics yet, but this is what i've done.

I've replaced both of these:

with This:

and this:

You can makes this modification without using any additional parts (other than the gears), or making any cosmetic changes. By doing this, the emerald night can go noticably faster, but still pull long trains. It looses speed with long trains, but it did that beforehand anyways. I haven't tried freight cars yet, but mine has so far pulled 2 santa fe cars, the Emerald Night car, and 5 2010 passenger train cars (including rear) with no problems other than the slow down. Also, i haven't charged the battery in a while so I could imagine i'd get better results if i did.
