Powered by a 8HP 'motorised cultivator' briggs and stratton engine. It can go up to 50km/h (31mph), the speed is not limited by the engine but by the weakness of the wooden base. (it starts vibrating quite a lot around 50 km/h). The 20km long railroad track has been abandoned for more than 10 years and is quite steep for a railroad. The maximum steepness is 20mm/m (2%) but it is often close to 10mm/m (1.5%)
