That curve. Is it flat? Or is the radio gear heavy? It seems like the driving wheels are not sufficiently gaining grip on the curve. Your layout is nice. It gives a lovely run.
You mention text. Not found the text as yet. Maybe I am not looking in the right place.
Ah. I have just found the text!

No gradients on the layout. The radio gear is a few grams, the rechargeable battery is the heaviest bit at 103 grams. The drag is from the 'skate' on the rail-heads.
The 66 mentioned tows it quite happily, but the Jubilee tender drive is a bit too light for the load.
When I get a round tuit, I'll take the green coach off, and see how many regular coaches the loco can cope with.

Nice long run on the layout Eric - I was impressed with the camera. I watched a YouTube video - for the price it looks very good. Barry

The camera is a mobius - about 5.5 cm l x 3.5 w x 1.5 d.
