Mark, It occurs to me you may have a bad HH motor if the problem is not traction related. Do I correctly understand its a traction problem? We may be able to quantify your problem: An interesting

Yes, well said from the camp of some of us "Historic Entities" (HE's, as in "he said"...)! For me, some of the modern approaches to modeling and _operating _the models just made sense. I have adopted
