Thomas & Friends / Thomas' weight for hills
September 03, 2010, 08:48:19 AM
I have two Thomas engines HO scale on EZ track.
I purchased a rail kit for a figure 8 with its 14 pieces pier set to raise the track over itself.
The Thomas engine I have will climb the hill OK alone, but if I add 1 car it will start spinning its wheels.  Two cars almost stop it.
I have taped weights to Thomas and he climbs great so the power is there only his weight is too light.  There is no room inside of thomas to add the weight.

Is there a heavier engine (does not have to be in the Thomas series) steam or diesel that can hook up to the Thomas series cars to pull them up "Henry's Hill".
