Finally have my layout ready for traditional operation, Gargraves track, switches, etc. Postwar 736 (just serviced) will pull only two or three light freight cars. Hooked up a 726E, pulls like a champ. While firebox glow is interesting, I want smoke. Do I need to obtain a different loco? (Layout is at Phase II, running post war.) Next is remote control, but would like to run postwar for awhile. Add weight (wheels did spin a bit early on)? Wheels right now are clean & shiny--any suitable chemical to add grip? Other advice? Thanks, Alan
