I am making a UP Big Boy Activity for Marias Pass, but after I get to Java I get on some of the grades and the Big Boy plus the Challenger I have helping, Slowly come to a stop. I also run out of coal as well.Is there something I am missing to get the Big Boys to have more pwoer. This is only a 44 car load. And do I need to have a tender switch?I have Patch 1.1 for the UPs.Mauser mit Dem Mauser.

Garand rule: dump 8 through the block.

RE: Marias Pass Big Boy Activity.

The original Maria's Pass has got very steep inclines...not prototypical at all...don't use it.it's rubbish!!!
Get Maria Pass 3.1 from here...and your problem could be solved.!!
