I bought a mountain type steamer a month ago. It was running great pulling 10 car trains at home and 30 freight cars at the club. it has Ran great for about 10 run time hours total..Then last night I was running it in a double header with my BLI mike with 40 freight cars in tow. The mountain was not pulling its share of the weight in the train. on the straights the mountain was running ok but in a grade The BLI was spinning its wheels wile the mountain was slowing but keeping traction. Then tonight i placed it on my home layout and double headed it with the same BLI Mike. this time full speed with no cars in tow. with them uncoupled but running one a few feet behind the other the spetrum slows to half its speed in a tight turn or grade. and then slowly gets back up to full speed shortly after the turn or grade ends?
is this a bad motor?
