After adding small drops of Labelle 106 grease to the gear box's and oiling around with Labelle 108 light oil on all axels and valve gear I gave her a good breaking in forward and in reverse.
After that a train of 90 freight cars was made up,we increased this to 100+caboose,this locomotive has the diecast boiler which brings its weight to 2lbs that plus 2 traction tires one the rear driver set of each engine makes this N&W articulated a true freight hog and a delight to see and hear.
