@joshc956

@@Mrmonkey19888 They really shouldn't be using a slug to pull real weight. It's designed to spread traction, not add power. It's useful for low speed switching operations but it's the wrong thing to use here, and probably the cause of the slip. The front engine's power is cut because the slug draws from it, so they don't have as much concentrated power going into the climb to boot. I'm not sure if slugs have sanders, or if that training loco does, but if one or both lack sanders that's going to contribute, too. Essentially, 2/3 of the power sources chosen for this job aren't really made to do the job at hand.

P.S. That is how I clean my track. Either digitally by coupling some locomotives together, hooking up a train, (Might as well get some revenue.) and setting the engines for different speeds. I also do it in analog by putting five or six locomotives, some with radically different gearing, on a train and let the wheel spinners do their work. It works great, and running your fleet like that really separates the men from the boys. This only works if the "spinning" locomotive(s) do NOT have traction tires, but the other locomotives can have them. ♡ T.E.N.

The irony that wheel slip could easily start a big fire, especially if the tracks are bordered by dry leaves or grass.

probably pushing against his cars brakes which aren’t fully released ie. trains BP not fully pumped up….setting a minimum application and pushing is a common shunt move especially when coming onto other cars…. basically when the person on the ground says stop the engineer shuts throttle off/applies more air brake and the train stops very quickly… though you don’t want to be spinning wheels or pushing car brakes on for too long… another reason is they could also be pushing cars with handbrakes on
