Got the Mikado out today to stretch her legs.
Here's a video of the 'cab' ride, taken from the tender.
She'd been pulling the train up the 1:70 (1.4%) bank all day without effort, even with the gas turned down.
However, when I came to take the video, it was the evening, so the gas much was cooler.
She only just makes it up the bank.
Down the hill on the other side, no problem - I have to partly close the throttle.
On the Aristo remote it's 'slower'.

I didn't realise how rough my track has become 'til I watched the video!
Thankfully no derailments though.
Here's a photo of her 21 car train -
