I've been able to get away with pulling 5 cars up 7%, but I'd say that's pushing it, maybe over the top for most electrics. This was with a steamer. <br /> <br />Seems to boil down to 3 simple things to me. Cleanliness of track, weight of loco and of course power of loco. <br /> <br />A short run experimental section should do the trick to see how far you can push it.
