I bought these Weaver Lackawanna ABBA E-8's(two powered A units and two matching non-powered B units), two matching early Weaver Erie Lackawanna 20" aluminum 5 car sets, one additional 20" matching coach, and one later release Weaver Erie Lackawanna 20" coach with green tinted window strips. I left the second baggage and observation car in the set box and added the additional 20" matching coach and the later release green tinted window strip 20" coach to make a ten car consist.
When I acquired the engines and cars I lubricated the axles, rollers, and couplers, repacked the grease on the worm gear where it engages the truck gear and where the other gears engage each other in addition to replacing the traction tires. I needed to put a small black zip tie on 2nd rear facing A unit plunger coupler to keep it closed pulling this long consist. I had to also zip tie the later release green tinted window strip cars troublesome plunger couplers as it was opening up with only the observation car behind it. Otherwise they run real smooth and I am quite pleased having the addition of these fallen flags locos and passenger cars on my roster.
