I would try coarse rubber strips on the wheels and lots of weight to make it grip but the grade is still going to make a huge difference... what is your incline currently?

i am gonn have to measure it ,  i suppose its ok to fit rubber strips in all wheels ? that will not impact on speed is it ??  :) :)

Hi,

rubber is an isolator......
You are going to reduce the possibility that the engine gets power.....

and depending on the rubber one wheel can become bigger than the other....

Duh, forgot we were dealing with electric  8} BUT it might still work, you would need very thin rubber strips... and it cant cover the whole wheel ... it is going to be more to stop the train from rolling backward than to help it move forward...
