[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by karmabob</i> <br /><br />I just got a set of 6 of the Bachmann Spestrum Passenger cars (newer ones with the all metal trucks) and have tried to run them on my layout. I am running the Bachmann SP Daylight 4-8-4 loco and it just can't quite pull the grades. (Wheels slip) I have about 20 other trains and this is the only one with this problem. <br />Does any one know if the Lionel version of the daylight 4-8-4 has more pulling power than the Bacmann? How is the quality on that engine? <br />Or is there a way to add traction tires to the Bachmann? <br />Thanks <br />Bob R. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I purchased four of the Lionel engines when they first came out during the Freedom Train era and none of them would pull four or five cars up any grade. I don't believe they are your answer to pulling power. <br /> <br />Most of the time, only about four drivers out of eight touch the rails. <br /> <br />The good thing about the Lionel version is they look nice. .
