In the Steam Locomotive Era
Two measures of locomotive performance were generally applied. At first, locomotives were rated by tractive effort.
Tractive effort can be roughly calculated by multiplying the total piston area by 85% of the boiler pressure (a rule of thumb reflecting the slightly lower pressure in the steam chest above the cylinder) and dividing by the ratio of the driver diameter over the piston stroke.
However, the Precise Formula Is:
Tractive effort is defined as the average force developed during one revolution of the driving wheels at the rail head. This is expressed as:

Where d is bore of cylinder (diameter) in inches, s is cylinder stroke, in inches, P is boiler pressure in pound per square inch, D is driving wheel diameter in inches, c is a factor that depends on the effective cut-off.

My husband and I bought this for our 4 year old son for Christmas, and he loves it. I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids normally, but our son has experience with other Lionel trains, and knows they need to be played with carefully. He asked for a Caterpillar Train for Christmas after seeing one at Toys R Us, but after reading online reviews, I decided to get one that would be compatible with our other track and cars. We use the train with Fast Track, which is much more durable than the old metal track. The transformer works smoothly, and it has a nice whistle sound. It comes with 2 high quality die cast Cat crawler loaders to haul on a flatcar. (Neil Ehlers)
