[quote user="mikebo"]<p>My spectrum consolidation (with DCC and Tsunami) will pull 12 hoppers with metal wheels each weighing 3.5 oz up a 7 ft grade that starts as 2% and ends with a short stretch of 4%. It will easily pull 22 (maybe more, I didn't try any more) on level track. </p><p>Mike </p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>My layout has similiar grades as Mike and I been runing different engines around at different speeds. My 2-8-0 is DC and it will pull 13-40 ft boxcars weighted to 3.5 oz around without a problem. However if you stop or slow it down on a grade it wouldn't do anything but slip. </p><p>As to a level track my layout doesn't have any so I can't give a number. </p>
