After a run with this die cast consist, I would say the engine bodies are warm, and the trucks are warmer, but not uncomfortably hot. All of my post war Lionels sit and spin after entering a curve.
I’ve never built a train with the cab-2 or DCS. I was worried one engine would be pulling or pushing the other. As I recall, the selected engines should be tested by running to see if they can maintain a steady distance from each other. Is that correct?
I agree tires are a major PITA. I don’t even bother replaceing them anymore
You really should try a MU with the CAB-2. It's super easy, fun and looks awesome! It helps spread the load too!
