    I keep stalling after I pass Hyndman, I am at full throttle, but I cant make it to the top of grade. Is there something I am missing in the loco setup?

    Which locos are you driving?

    Unfortunately, there are some services in the SD40 timetable which SD40's can't actually pull up the grade; this is a result of TSW2 introducing new adhesion physics which eliminates the Spider-man qualities of TSW2020 engines. You can still get the medal for the service by running it with AC4400's.

    Sometimes you have banker locos which aren't set up correctly and won't provide any additional power.

    the lead is an AC4400, trailed by an SD40-2

    Are they both set up correctly? Also, how heavy is that train? (A couple of the biggest ones, anything less than 2 AC4400s won't make it)

    the train weights 5391.9 tons, 44 cars
    setup for the AC4400 cut in, lead, generator field on
    setup for the SD40-2 cut out, trail 6 or 26, generator field off (default)

    I am not sure this is the correct setup or not

    never mind, I am a total dumb-ass.

    I have two AC4400"s trailing on the end, the lead was was not setup correctly, now i think it will work.

    thanks for your help

    Generator field has to be on on ALL locos, or they don't produce any power.
