Another idea (and I'll stop after this, I promise!)

Never worry about replying--that's what usergroups are for :)

would be a bit harder to
implement, but may work in the end.  How about removing one of your trailing
pairs of wheels and redesign in a fourth pair of drivers, making your train from
a 4-6-4 to a 4-8-2?  (or even a 4-8-0).


Oh if I only had more BBB wheels--the ones you see ar ethe only ones I have :)


  This way you could take advantage of
all that weight in the cab (as it looks like its full of bricks and equipment)
to increase the tractive effort.

Working on it tonite--I'll let you know how it goes :)
