I wonder what the gradient was at this point? It looks spectacular as a stunt but once you have this lot moving and given the low friction of metal wheels on rails the force required to keep it moving would be relatively low. The big problem would be stopping it. Good stunt though.

ps watch out for a white DS demonstrator on sale with very low mileage and an early rear diff failure. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
