Reply to "Pratts Hollow"

I have the original, and with a single AC motor in the front, the traction is non-existent!  I solve that problem by adding a motor and converting it to use the ERR AC Commander, it was a major improvement!  When I started, it couldn't pull the original four cars around on a level layout properly on Atlas track.  When I run the upgrade, it will haul 20-25 freight cars or eight passenger cars around, including a 2% grade with no problem.  Note that it has no traction tires, and magnatraction isn't useful on non-ferrous track, so it's just basic metal on metal traction that moves things.  Here's the thread on the motor upgrade:  Improving the Lionel Phantom Locomotive
