I agree! Love mine now that the bearings were replaced.
Though Pullmor and not a truly accurate model of a RI 4-8-4 (severe compression), I have always liked these. They are thick-boilered handsome and they just scream "project!", and I understand that the fixed ones run well for that technology. Get some bigger wheels for that front truck - or, better yet, turn it into a freelance husky Mikado with scale F/R trucks, new scale brass footboard pilot...but more projects I don't need.
