Programming Double-Header with Helper

Former Member

Hello,

2 rail O scale, DCC, double-deck layout. Steep grades, 4+% at points.

Train I am working on: SP Overland Passenger

Consist: 4-8-4 Mountain, 2-6-6-2 AM-2, plus 7 Golden Gate Heavy Weight Passenger Cars-I have no problems with this train.

PROBLEM Consist (going down hill on curves): 4-8-4 Mountain, 2-6-6-2 AM-2, plus 10 Golden Gate Heavy Weight Passenger Cars

weight of downhill run derails cars 8 and 9 front trucks, I would like to add "Helper" to consist to #1-Help train go uphill faster

and #2-drag slack out of train going downhill, WITHOUT 2 OPERATORS

Thanks,

Mark
