Several years ago I bought the complete Burlington Zephyr set in HO from BLI. Just for the heck of it I coupled my PRR T-1 to the cars (12 total). It wouldn't pull them on level track. (It would pull 15 other coaches and 5 head end cars with ease.) I took every car axle from the trucks and filed the ends of the axles because there were tiny barbs on many of them. After that It will pull the train up a 30 foot 2 percent grade so I reccomend checking the wneels for gauge and the axles and journals for flash.
