I have had the same problem aswell! The T9 has these rubber traction tyres on one wheel which I have never got on well with. It struggles to pull more than two Maunsell coaches! I hope someone has a solution!!!
My t9 (the BR black one with the wider cab) has a tendancy to slip with only THREE bachmann mk1 coaches! my layout has a bit of a gradient, probably because the board bows a bit in the middle (I kne I should have put wooden slats across the underside!) but the review for the t9 in 'Model Rail' magazine says that on the flat, it should be able to haul about FIFTEEN coaches on the flat. My layout isn't tht steep!
Hmm I am still waiting for my NRM T9 120 perhaps I have the Same problem like jamiegoddard4 I'll have to put NRM Sir Lamiel on the back, my layouts 1 in 49.
