Here are the results from the 2005 Diamondhead International Small Scale Steamup
Draw Bar Pull. As in the past two years the Bruce Gathman designed measuring
device was used in the event. Twenty-one locomotives and one dog competed in

I've seen no reason to use it on the three cylinder. And the design is totally

pulling very hard for several feet and cleaning off any oil
