CaptOblivious Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm a bit mystified that your mules don't like grades. I have one, and it is all too happy to pull a string of four HOKI-800's up a 4% grade! That's a shame if your's don't do that… Link to comment
rankodd Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well, my grades would have to be around 6% to do the layout I wanted, which is a complete no go. You are talking about the Tomytec 12' mules, right? And you can get yours to pull cars up a 4% grade? I'm impressed... Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 No, I just had a look at mine: It's not a mule at all; it's a bit longer than a mule, maybe 18'? So, different mechanism. My bad! Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Those mules barely have any traction. They even have problems propelling themselves out of a station... For me they'll end up unused (maybe one in action) in the future shed on my layout. Link to comment

One is a bit grumpy going through switches though. Link to comment
