PS: I kinda wrote off bothering with a single motor F3 of any sort, unless I had two power units. Now I'm wondering if maybe they're made of tougher stuff than I thought, or if it's just more to do with what kind of trucks your cars of choice are rolling on (postwar staple/bar end, vs postwar AAR/Archbar, vs MPC needle point, vs modern diecast needle point)

"Unless bought from a known and trusted dealer who can vouch otherwise, assume every train for sale requires servicing before use"

Mixed consist of mostly free rolling trucks ,so it runs quite well without struggling.
