Thanks for the info on the grade and curvature, equates into quite a climb. But it still seems strange that my Riv will out pull the Trix on a hill. Even when my Riv's traction tires were worn out (have been since replaced) it would still pull ten cars up the hill. <br /> <br />All my cars are free rolling, metal wheels. The one thing I have found though is, the Big Boy will pull 4 Riv 85' passenger cars up the grade quite well at higher speed. These are the new design cars with the body mount couplers, working diaphrams and are lighted. Quite a bit heavier than the freight cars. Weird...... <br /> <br />Too bad the Big Boys didn't pull passenger trains.... But it is my railroad, perhaps???
