I have an RSD-15 it cannot haul more than a dozen cars up the helix at the club... maybe add another loco...

Mark, 

  What brand/model engine and how steep are the grades on your layout?

Rolling Stock Frustration...
Posted by marksrailroad on Saturday, January 27, 2018 3:55 PM

Hello all. I've been kind of frustrated for a couple of days now because none of my locomotives will pull more than ten or twelve freight cars at a time... I checked the traction tires on all of the locos and they're all good. I also cleaned the tracks in case there was oil or something on them. Still the locos just sit and spin their wheels. Does anyone else have this problem?.
