Last night I got to run my new Aerotrain on the club's layout. The mainline is down for track repair so I ran it on the upper line. I bought the Aerotrain set and three add-on cars. That gives me an engine and six cars. The engine, which is lighter than the cars, couldn't handle the six cars up hill. The wheels were lifting off the track under load. Through trial and error I found it could handle five cars. I might have to try more weight in the engine. I think the motors can pull the load. I just can't keep the wheels solidly on the track. Here are some pictures of the set.
