Hi Super, allot of the RC Hiro's (and other early RC) problems with traction is due to the heavy weight and lack of power/speed. Most engines can overcome a slippery section of track as they carry more momentum and wheel spin but this is quite slow and man did the batteries run down fast! Yes I have 7 troublesome tankers now and 11 cattle wagons! a very good amount and I got them from my dad who is moving on to electric trains soon, a shame but ah well but I guess it takes some special dedication to the plastic to stay with these trains 
The Vline (orange and grey) is a papercraft I did quite a while ago from a cardboard model kit from the late 80's or early 90's It sits on a plarail Kintaro railcar.
