I had a little beast of modern Athern that impressed me greatly with throttle feel too. A far cry from 70s Tyco. It was a GP that had also trouble with the old littler power pacs, and a small modern Bachmann pac at just 4ft or so. A Lionel ho cheapy worked best except for stray sound commands that happened regularly, so a better Bachmann pac was had, but I sold the engine days later with only a few hours on it hoping to land an On30 that didn't ever really pan out. I settled on a 2 curve long track that splits into a pair of portals at a mine head; i. e. a wide push cart line for two ore cars. As is, static except for gravity but I often think often about extending it as an el. dump for a Porter and using a trolley stop reversing setup for automation. The problem is the regular price doubled on the Porters in no time & I'm too cheap to pay double in under ten years
