Finally got the D-27 layout "tuned in" but had to change the exit by lowering the track down by 1/2 " to lessen the grade. I am convinced that the Magne traction feature weakens over the years and is to the point (in three of the 2035's I tried) could not make the pull with more than 3-4 gondolas. By lowering the grade slightly, it can pull 10-12 of the 1002 gondolas.
