Hi, I realise it's a long time since you asked the question but if this helps, then feel free to try it out. I have operated a rack line for couple of years with the Ballenburg loco. Initial problems revealed that it ran best with only one coach being pushed. It does work on R1 curves, as some of us have no choice. The cog rail does bend and distort in the heat. I overcame this by unclipping one section from the next and running the two ends parrallel to each other, holding them in position with a couple of small nails. It works like a breather in a long welded rail section. Other factors have been covered in other replies.
