Smokes well.  Wasn't sure how many cars it would pull but had no trouble pulling 21 upgrade.  The traction tires make this small engine pull well. Very heavy engine as both engine and tender are cast metal.

Hillyard.

The engine and tender comes pre-attached.  The wires make a good profile of water hoses.  After an 850' mainline run, no problems but surprised how hot it is around the smoke stack; that smoke generator must 'draw some amps'!
