| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------|--------------|----------| | Wheels slip when starting | Full engine + too much throttle | Reduce throttle, or start in Half engine | | Train barely moves on a hill | Half engine + low throttle | Increase to Full engine and apply more throttle | | Engine runs out of steam quickly (steam loco) | Full engine at high speed | Reduce reverser toward Half or less | | Train overspeeds downhill | Full reverse not applied | Apply Half or Full reverse + independent brake |
