I have 2 of the original engines. First engine when they came out, and the second a few years later for $150. or so. My solution to the weak pull power was a push and pull set of engines in a lash up. Later versions came with a traction tire. I bought 2 sets of traction tire assemblies from Lionel and swapped them out. Much stronger. I DO like the looks and stereo sounds of the 2 engines pushing and pulling though.
