Downside: The traction tires on this engine seem prone to detach when pulling any heavy load. In my case it was just four NYC Superliner passenger cars, which are aluminum and pretty weighty but roll smoothly along the track. Fortunately in my case the tire did not shred and I was able to re-seat it in the wheel without too much difficulty. I think however that I will use plastic cars behind this engine for now on.

Some folks use MTH tires which fit better on some Lionel engines.

Maybe the new ones are made of different materials but my CC Niagara has pulled 13 18" cars on its original tires. Lionel still stocks these. MTH may or may not fit correctly. Check all dimensions before ordering.
