N Gauge Traction Problem For Locomotive

Howard has an N guage layout based on John Allen’s original Gorre and Depheated layout and asks for readers help:

“I have a N guage layout based on John Allen’s original Gorre and Depheated layout. It is the same size as John Allen’s HO although the grades are less the John’s. The locomotives without cars can’t climb the grades. Is there some way I can increase the traction? I have considered scoring the rails, but am concerned about excessive wear on the driving wheels and am reluctant to take a chance of ruining a locomotive. Thoughts from your readers on the subject would be appreciated.”
