hello Pete..........
Well it doesn't matter anyway as this Blackhawk Hudson has 4 traction tires and they are in good shape for its 33 year old age (no dry rot) !! 
. I have weight "balanced" the engine (equal weight on front 1st driver and rear 3rd driver) and there is about 2.269 pounds on each of the 2 driver axles as the middle driver is barely touching the top of the rails. The total locomotive weight without front pony truck and rear trailing truck is 4.538 pounds (chassis and body) with 8 OZ lead weight. It should have no trouble at all pulling 6 Williams 15 inch aluminum passenger cars on 072 track. I am looking for a extra Williams "coach" 15 inch aluminum passenger car in "Burlington " road name, does anyone have one for sale new in the box ? Since the Hudson is light which is ok and easy for me to handle it when taking it out of the box and putting it on the track. I just thought it should weigh more to area of like 6 pounds and up.
