I have two Santa Fe engines and a B Unit I built to go with them. I have two
moters one on each of the A units. I too had a hard time with the SF engines
pulling more then 10 cars. It always seemed to bog down in the turns.
Recently I had all my Gray wheels replaced and now my SF runs 10 times
better. Infact with it set only at power setting 1 it will pull ten cars
with no problem through the turns. I dont have any of the SF coaches so I
cant do a test with them. But getting the wheels replaced seems the best
option if you have problems with the SF running sluggish.
