Funny, my Rivarossi Allegheny will do that and more up my 2.4 WITHOUT traction tires, and my BLI AC-5 does that and more regularly, just out of the box. Maybe, like the UP prototype, the Lionel Challenger just isn't built for grades. You guys out there ever think about that? UP and their piddly little 1.5% over Sherman Hill? Maybe Athearn and Lionel are trying to tell you something--THE CHALLENGER IS NOT A HEAVY-DUTY FREIGHT DRAG ENGINE! At least not those little 97,000lb. TE UP jobs. You want pulling power? Get yourself an AC or a Yellowstone! [/quote] [(-D] [(-D] [(-D] YEAH! Either this is funny or I've had too many margaritas! [/quote] Perhaps too many. From all the photos I've seen, the Genesis Challenger looks weak too. Too "gappy". Lots of blank spots in this locomtive.
