Build 2573 the pictured train starts on the 3.4% grade with 30% cutoff and 60% throttle, steps right up to 14 MPH.

With Build 2574, it takes a full brake application to stop it from sliding back down the hill and 100% throttle and cutoff just to creep forward at a couple of miles an hour.

Whatever somebody did regarding steam gear in 2574 needs to be taken back. Latest Friday issue (2576) has the same problem.

Edward, you'll have to do the water stop thing again.... :buffalobill:

Hi Herb,

The poor speed with the throttle settings you described should have been fixed in #2578 earlier today.

Please retest and advise outcome.

Thanks for the feedback.
