I started testing some of my cars for rolling quality. One of my trains had decided that it wouldn't go up my grade that it used to go up.
I made a test ramp with some leftover WS 2% risers. Then I realised that I had a 2% grade on the layout.
I found that some cars wouldn't start on the grade; some would start and zip along for a distance on the flat. Some would start on the grade and grind to a halt on the 30" radius curve.
