Great video.  I have the USRA version Mallet and it has become one of my favorites. It is just a very good looking engine, and a great runner.

 

However, mine has a quirk that drives me crazy.  It is by far the most sensitive loco I have to dirty track.  Unclean track that purely conventional locos (WBB ten-wheeler) will tolerate without any difficulties, and the best "Legacy" locos (V Hudson, recent Blue Comet) seem to handle well, drive this thing crazy - if the track is anything but recently (last couple of hours) cleaned, it will stutter and stop occasionally or start 'talking to itself' (seems to interpret variations in voltage due to the dirt as DCC commands?).  I run it always with a track cleaning car as part of its consist,.
