Gentlemen; My problem is not to do with pulling power LGB loco's have plenty of that; no its to do with traction on a 4 % grade. Even my beastly Mallet and Crocodile tend to slip when pulling anything but the lightest load in this environment. Don't forget i live near the ocean and a big grade combined with tightish curve will worry the best of them. The Mallet will pull 6 small carriages but sometimes not 7 and the Crocodile will pull 3 big golden mountain coaches but not with the addition of a baggage car, under these circumstances. So i am going to add a powered tender to my big Sachsen, to improve its traction, it can only pull 4 small coaches and 5 on a good day. So if i buy a new loco i would like to have some idea as to what it can do as far as traction is concerned. Even my ICE train doesn't like this situation and i have put guggle wheels on it and it has helped a lot. Rgds ian
