The Lionel Challenger is NOT overweight. In fact if the Life Like proto steam weighted as MUCH as that so called overweight Lionel and ran just as well THEN I will consider myself in model railroad heaven. I had a Life Like F unit in a train set in the late 70's it ran around the oval at top speed for about 20 years until the motor ground away too much of the innards to function. By that time I had undersstood what was quality and what was JUNK. Tyco is still JUNK. But.... I learned to treat them as materials for practicing airbrushing and kitbashing only what I am just now beginning to explore. Life Like does a decent job. But it's BLI for me in steam.
