I have tried to minimize this by using high diameters. It would also be (...) (15 years ago, 25-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

An interesting test would be the new motor with the old ridged tracks (since they are compatible). You may get really high traction. (...) (15 years ago, 25-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | (...) The quality of the rubber is definitely a critical factor for friction, but it is not the only factor. I've found with a normal 10020, one motor, pulling a few Santa Fe coaches, the wheels will spin excessively (especially if you have a slight (...) (15 years ago, 27-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
