[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Oliver Trzok Hi, Mark I As for the IHC steamers - they seem to run pretty well, but again - too much plastic in my opinion, even their chassis are plastic, so they won't pull much, and if you add weight it is questionable how much their bearings would last. Hope this helps. Have fun & best regards, Oliver [/quote] Sufficient weight in any diesel/steamer I think should be at least 16 oz to avoid wheel slippage. I have the 4-8-2 Mountain and that comes in at 16.9 oz. The IHC on-line catalog should also give you the weight of the steamers.
