I'VE FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as it turns out, the shell was loose. the cab actually. and because the cab was loose, the gears weren't being held in place

now its back to 15 boxcars with no problem
(these cars all have plastic wheels, and the trucks are to tight so its more like 20!)

yea, i was interested in a few of the models, im just not famillier with the paint jobs.

heres one, its pennsy. thats the only one i remember from the pdf file

thanks and I'm talking about the standard.
and yes I'm loosing power some times with no cars.
the noise is like the gears are slipping and grinding (it gets worse in reverse)
as in your 3rd paragraph, that was the first thing i did
thank you!

i got one of these in christmas '08. it ran fine until now.
i was actually able to get it to pull 10 boxcars!

but now it sounds like the gears are loose. i took it apart, none of the gears are loose, and none are missing teeth!
i don't want to send it back because it Philadelphia and Reading, which i don't know if they still make

actually, N scale track is 9mm, and HOn3 is 10mm (give or take)

Here's one:

i think he meant 'finished models'

nce video. kind of remindes me of what (almost) happened to me

min works perfectly
exceptit makes a tinny sound when stopped suddenly

ok now i get it

if Barry is #12, Charlie is #14, then who's 13?
and how'd we even get on this topic?

that hapened to me TWICE on my club layout except it was a mule. the first time it was with a bach. irish 2-6-0.if it wasn't for the lower track it would have plumatted to the floor! and be in bachmann's repair dept. right now! the second was with a PCM Reading T-1 of the first run, luckely that, too, didn't get damaged. 
i think that mule (and coal cart) should be glued dow with different glue

ok thank you!
