I added some weight to the tender, but it still does not pull as well as it should. And the pick-up could be improved (no electrical pick-up with the tender wheels). And putting the front trucks back on was a bear -- far more difficult then it should have been; that's probably why they changed the pilot truck attachment on the newer 4-6-2. Still, its an enjoyable steamer from way back in the 1990s.
