My biggest question is how can locos of different power levels be made to pull the same amount. For example if a 2500hp loco and a 4000hp loco are hooked together and each is set on run 5 there will be a differece in tractive effort; is this an issue? What about different loading speeds; can this cause problems? I read in Trains magazine that traction motors in older units can be burned out when controlled by newer units. Is this true? Thanks for your help. Ron
