Hi, I have about a dozen New Brights and only take them out of storage to go around the Christmas tree. New Bright makes electrics but they are harder to find. I have one of the older ones. They did a Christmas 4-4-0 in 1986 that was track powered and the pick ups were on the lightweight tender. If you can find one of these tenders the plug can be swaped to fit one of your 4-6-0 locos. I used a Lionel GP Power truck kitbashed into a New Bright tender to increase the pulling power. The fit worked well and the combination can pull several animated cars with ease, but it looks odd with two tenders. The newest Christmas series is track powered and plentiful on ebay but the look is kind of cheesy if you ask me. Another option is looking in Boy Scout supplies and getting some pinewood derby stick on lead strips that could be added to the outside of the loco. If you stay with battery power, you can cement some wide rubber bands to the drive wheels to improve traction.
