Pros: nice detail, headlights
Cons: light as a feather

I bought this locomotive as my first fully-detailed RTR locomotive, after years of strictly Athearn kit locos. I was impressed by it's operation, but when i took the shell off, there was no weight! The only weight seems to be the frame. I have since bought another (secondhand), and even with both of them, they can only pull about 2/3 of any other locomotive i have. Adding weight is definately on the to-do list.
