Just last night in "my private library" I was reading some interesting info from smaller scale live steam (well, 15" gauge) poineer Sir Arthur Heywood about this very subject, with Heywood stating the following:

On the level a steam loco can tow x10 its weight.

Increase the gradient, and things drop quickly, (1:50 = x4 to 1:12 = x1)

Hmm, I think I need to hit the treadmill if I got into riding behind a Ruby.....
