I hope nobody has to change a traction tire. They give you a hex nut tool to change the tire but it looks like you need a allen wrench to change the tire. Otherwise it look nice, it's a heavy engine. and they give you a knuckle coupler to put on the front. Now I can double head it with the Big Boy. I could only go back and forth on my layout. I'll have to wait till I get to the club to give it a real workout. I hope the traction tires hold out.

I noticed that too on the traction tires… I’m not too worried I’ve rarely replaced traction tires. The only locomotives I’ve replaced tires on is the 6-11131 Legacy 844 and 6-11208 LM Big Boy. My vision big boy is still going strong, as well as my 1st run Challenger I picked up last year.
