Quite some time ago I purchased, from the Lionel Heritage 1998 catalog, Lionel part# 6-18064, NYC 4-8-2 Mohawk L-3A steam engine and tender. I never ran in and have had it out of the box only a couple times.
I had heard that there are operational problems with this locomotive, so I never attempted to power it up. It has been stored in my closet ever since.
Can someone verify this, explain the problems, and/or explain fixes, if there are any?
It seems like a very nice looking loco, that would be that much nicer if its operation lives up to its looks.
