Never have heard of that stuff. thanks for the link. but it looks like its made for N scale so it might work.

If it can dry smooth then it might work but any but if it is not concentric to the wheel it could be like tiring to drive a car with one of those parking vitiations boots on the wheel. Also one bad drop and it might lock up the lok

This product was reviewed in the May 09 issue of Model Railroader (WWW.railroader.com) page 82. They said to let the lok dry for 24 hours.

1 oz jar for $ 24.95, and increases pull substantially.

Well, the experience is mixed on the Bullfrog Snot. I applied it to two of the six axles of th GG-1 (four drive wheels). It pulls better, but still not good enough in my estimation (this is in addition to the 1 oz of lead I had put in previously). It runs fairly good at low speeds on flat surface pulling the six coaches, but as I increase speed, the wheels still slip. It will not pull the coaches up even the slightest grade.

On the other hand, my HO 39980 Scheinenbus only had one traction tire and had some trouble getting itself and two unpowered units up some of my grades. I put some of the stuff on the other wheel on the axle with the tire and it works perfectly now.

I may try a second coat on the GG-1 to see if that helps.

Ron, are all the wheels setting equally on the track and are all the wheels that are suppose to be driven turning?

I am sure you have check this but are the 6 coaches rolling freely? I cant imagine that the weight of the 6 Z coaches it to much for the GG-1 to pull on level ground. If you put just the coaches at the top of the grade do they roll down.

The only other think I can think of is to clean the track real good to make sure it can give as much traction as possible

Ron, with all the passenger coaches I have the metal wheel sets turn in plastic trucks and that would be the obvious point to lubricate. However I've read in a number of places that lubricants and plastic do not make good bedfellows. You could check to see that there's no lint or other fibres caught up in the wheel bearings, including the centre bearing on each axle. The bearings might even have picked up gunk (who knows what or where from though!).

I applied a second coat of the Bullfrog Snot to two wheels (one axle) on each bogie. It pulls like a champ now. It can pull the string of 6 coaches around a sharp curve and up a gentle incline without so much a a slip now. I am quite pleased with the stuff.

Great to hear it. When I get some time, I will try it on a 1'E (2-10-0) loco and see how I get on, but don't hold your breath.

Chris.

Don't know. It is a fairly new product. Maybe it will be soon.
