@jwb, thank you. That is the information I was looking for (found it on both forums).
I did find one photo with one engine pulling two cars. It has a text that one engine only is a great exception. Most photos and videos on PayPal show at least two often more engines pulling a train. I noticed, as you posted, that they are running with the cab ahead. Visibility vs. safety, an interesting decision.
My 5 engines are not sufficient to staff my four track staging yard. I did therefor order 5 engines from Trainworld and asked for urgent shipping to get them here before we go to Egypt for vacation. The decals have been ordered too but I asked them to delay shipping until end of September. With then 10 engines I will pick the best running and make the others dummy units.
But all that will happen in October when I am back to work for another six month turn ......
ps. I did Mu 2 and 3 engines with motor. The noise of 2 or even 3 drives is outstanding
