My son has several battery operated brio train engines, from the Walmart special, to the Lionel Adventure series. None of these engines are capable of climbing the small bridges that are include with the packs they came in once a load is placed on the engine (more than 3 cars and some can only overcome the incline if there is nothing attached to the engine). I am an electronics technician and I can tinker but I dont know where I might find more powerful small battery operated motors to put in the small package allowed by the body of the engine. I have also tried increasing the traction between the, obviously lacking smooth wood and plastic wheels, but the power just does not seem to be there. Anyone have a source or hints they could give me on this? <br />-oXo-
