My IHC Pacific is actually lablled IHC - Mehano. It worked much better after I added pickups from the tender, as Oliver suggested. It is simple to do, as the tender is already wired for a light. Just make sure that you connect the wires correctly so you don't get a short. This version of the Pacific is pretty heavy, and pulls well. Mine can make it up a 2.5% grade on a 22" radius curve pulling 15 cars or so. It is not quiet, or good at slow speed, but it works ok. BTW, the Pacific was originally designed as a passenger engine - hence the large diameter drivers for speed! Andrew
