I must say, my (Santa Fe) 426 is not the best, but not the worst. I do not yet (as of 9/28/10) have a permenant layout. I do have some Althern Bombarider commuter coachs, and it can’t pull 3 without help. Both exaust stacks have fallen off. I don’t have many freight cars, but I use what I can. It just makes me wonder why it can haul 4 freight cars, but not 3 coaches. I looks great and runs smoothly. Good loco.

I have a freind who has those coaches, and he has trouble pulling all 3 with a GP40 from Bachmann. I’m not surprised, they sure are weighty models.

I love this little work-horse and would like to purchase one, esp. if I could get one with D&RG Road Name
