Hey guys I just purchased a Bachmann 4-8-2 Light Mountain and was curious, are there any issues that I need to look out for. Any suggestions to keep it running at it's best etc etc, thanks.

Other than it doesn't pull worth a hoot it is a great running engine..

bullfrog snot will probably help traction wise.
models the C&O in 1945-55 happily in Canada :D

Bachmann has addressed the traction issues issues on the most recent light mountains, along with a rear operating coupler and more DCC freindly. However, only the UP and unlettered units have been upgrade that I HAVE SEEN. Hopefully the other roadnames will start trickling on to the shelves soon. Hmmmm.....I think I'll ask the Bach-Man about this      ???
