I dont run any dummys either. I did when I was just getting started, but then I got into DCC and consisting. Running anything with everything, lots of fun...

There you have it then, Curves add drag to a train as well. So you can be going up a grade just fine, then hit a curve and stall, To get around it. Add more powered units.

As a rule. I dont have any non-powered locomotives on my layout. Limits my flexibility to much. However, I have had run two dummys and one powered before and have not had this problem. Do these problems occure on curves?
