			In the above image, the numbers on the left are m/s and the numbers on the right are the tractive effort applied at that speed (in kN).

			So at 3m/s there is a maximum tractive effort of 10.2kN.

			If your train is accelerating too slowly, increase the power numbers. If your train is wheelslipping, reduce the numbers.
