Hey rplst8, thanks for the information. The rail king was on display one Saturday morning for the event. After that it was kept in the original box. It was only a year old when I purchased it in 2018. I haven’ run it since 2019, because it was such a poor performer. The Proto 1 series, which this one is, has very small drive wheels compared to my 3751. There, again, .031 curves compared to .054 curves, but for almost $100 more new, you would think the heavier MTH Northern would out pull the little Hudson. My friend has a NYC Hudson like my 3450 and he pulled 33 cars with it. Pretty impressive for a $269.00 engine.
