SCL1923:
Na, although there is some slop in the Athearn Genesis gears, the others are Walthers Proto with helical gearing which are tight...tight.
These are also brand new within two years of purchase with well worked in motors.

TwinStar:
I have a friend in Chicago who has a layout with grades and he installed RailPro in a portion of his fleet. None of them, not a single one, would operate correctly going downhill. They would buck and kick like you can't imagine. He wound up ripping the LM's out, giving them to a friend of ours, and going back to DCC. His experience jumped to mind when I read your post.

ON28:
I have no problem running my HO diesel fleet up and down my 28-inch radius, 3-1/2 turn helix. There is some slight buff (pushing) and draft (pulling) in a train, as with the prototype, but a good engineer can and should manage that with careful handling.
