Lionel returns to HO scale with this 4-6-6-4 Challenger steam locomotive

A beautiful engine, however my 3985 version has some issues with the tender axles and the electrical spring pickup causing to much drag. Some siderod binding that I have repaired. My engine does not have a lot pulling power. The sound system and appearence are excellent.
