Beautiful locomotive. Runs well. I have some 30" curves and had a little
trouble there. I found that I had to eliminate some imperefect track work
at the transition into one of the curves to make the engine stop stalling.
Not a great puller. I have some tough grades and can't pull a large
consist. Not bad on level track. Go for it! --Dale Reeves
