don't need to tell me where they run the E60s, its one of my favorites and i have more books on the subject than anyone will ever read, lol. You should also know that they retired the E60s not long after the HHP8s came into service. the HHP8 is the successor to the E60, really.

Your model just needs tweaking. something is wrong with it if it can't pull that train.
