stacking locomotives – Train Fever /forums/topic/stacking-locomotives/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:47:15 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/stacking-locomotives/#post-11078 <![CDATA[stacking locomotives]]> /forums/topic/stacking-locomotives/#post-11078 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 06:06:49 +0000 theuros I have a line which goes uphill and train speed drops to around 25 km/h  … then I added another locomotive, but I gained just around 5 km/h … what experience you have with more than one engine usage?  I tried this with steam locomotives. Is there any difference if you have two in the front or one int the fron and other in the back ?

thanx

The higher the number, the better that train is at gripping the track and thus better for slopes and acceleration.

Having the best possible power per weight gives more speed uphill, the best thing is ofcause building it flatter

By the way, having two locos is called “double-heading”. Whilst I’m on the subject of railway terminology, they’re “signals” not “traffic lights”, and “points” (UK) or “switches” (US) forming “junctions”, not “intersections”…
