i would check to see if the engined are up to the NMRA standard weights. some other things that might cause more resistance: <br>is the grade on a curve? <br>do you have plastic or metal wheelsets?<br>how clean is the track? <br>how clean are the wheels on your locos and cars? <br>this could all be as your locos simply not having the power to climb the hill, being older units. <br>3% is pretty steep, but nothing a prototype train of almost 20 cars moving at a good speed couldnt climb. <br>mabeyi can help more, mabey i cant. check the things on the list and i might be able to help more. <br>GEAREHAD426 <br><br>
