Yes they run very well. But they are gutless. Have you ever opened the boiler to see if there's room to add weight? Hey Daryl! Yes they run very well. But they are gutless.

I'll have to look for a replacement tender then. I find it also shorts on quite a few turnouts that my diesels do not. I'll have to check the wheel gauge.<br/><br/>The only other complaint I have is that it is not very powerful. It cannot pull the 4 coaches up my hill, but then again neither could Derwin's Bachmann 0-8-0. The train will need to be split into sections, or get the helper out.

I have a CN version that I bought when the first run came out 7 years ago. The only issue was that it didnt have the tender pick-up and often hesitated on switches. Later models did have the tender pick-up, and I was able to buy just a undecorated tender, and then swapped out the CN tender body on the old one and put it on the new one. After that it ran fantastic. Have fun.<br/><br/>Wayne Hi Scott
