Anyone used these to power a loco?

I used a PDT to re-power an Athearn RDC and was pleased with its performance (anything would've been an improvement over the rocket-sled rubber band drive). I found low speed control to be quite good and it would pull an unpowered RDC up any of the grades on my layout without problems - that's probably the equivalent of 4 or 5 free rolling freight cars, and it could've easily pulled more. However, it was considerably cheaper than the price nowadays.
