In turning one over, I was surprised to find that there are no center rail pick up rollers on the locomotive; only 2 on the tender."

"Bruk posted:

Looks to me that one pick up roller could be added to that engine. In my experience I have seen that MTH will design provisions for pick up rollers on some steam locomotives but will not install them at the factory. I had worked a Premier Royal Hudson for a customer in Canada. He was having issues with pick up through his Atlas Switches. All I had to do was add pickups to the engine....if I remember right?? (this was 4 years ago)."

I think that there may be provision to install a pickup roller on the 0-4-0 locomotive. The enlarged picture below shows an (almost square) opening just ahead of the rear driver axle into which a pickup roller and wiring could be mounted... Sorry for the thread drift...
