It's a good idea to try to extend the grade out over more track. Maybe buy a second pier set and use two same size piers, then go up to the next size and use two more, then next size, etc. That would spread it out.

I ran into the same problem and used the suggestion above - using two pier sets to lessen the slope.  My 4-4-0s can pull 3 or 4 cars now.  I had to be careful to make sure the piers were close the track connections so the track didn't flex.

I also have tried Bullfrog Snot on one of the engines and it made a big difference.  A little tricky to apply, but it helped a lot.

I'm currently using a Bachmann EZ Command controller on my layout.  I have two reverse loop modules installed.  However, I'm hitting some limitations with the EZ Command in that I have more that 10 DCC locomotives and more than 10 DCC controlled switches. I've picked up a Digitrax controller, assuming that the Bachmann reverse loop modules would continue to work.  I thought I better check before I hooked up the Digitrax Controller so I didn't fry anything accidentally.

I assume this would be ok, but can anyone confirm this?
