I purchased three of these little locos which ran surprisingly well until the traction tires died on all three within a month. I was unable to get new traction tires from Atlas and the 4-4-0’s can pull almost nothing without them and run rough as well. So now they just sit in a closet.
The boiler and cab are metal castings, not plastic. A scratch test will confirm it. Either way, test your assumptions during review
