Ooh nice….  How’s the Lady of the Lake coming along.  I keep getting mine out of the box and then wimping out(!)

If you can, get and read a copy of MRJ 20.   There is an article in there about compensating a 4mm single, and getting it to haul.

@Coal Tank will have seen this but for wider consumption - as an alternative to compensation, there is the CSB approach which in theory should flow more smoothly through the trackwork.  See

CSB is fine for six and eight and ten coupleds.   The article I referenced is about compensation being used to shift 60% of the weight of a loco onto a single driver.   It is easier to set up than CSB as well.

I have actually run a train,only a couple of feet but it was a good feeling

Congratulations on reaching this milestone. And not just any old train either!
