Other diesels that don't weigh any more than the Aerotrain locomotive have much better pulling power. What I see with the stock Aerotrain engines is the rear truck hops up and down and loses traction. Since it's also the truck with the tach sensor, once it loses traction, the front motor doesn't get as much power and that's the ball game. I'm 98% positive that the rear truck design is the whole problem with the Aerotrain pulling power. In an interesting twist, the PS/2 model appears to have better traction, even though the truck design looks the same.
