Have been running one of these little locos for over 4 years now. It is a faultless little loco as long as you run a short train. It has to pull up a long grade from the bottom to top of the garden through 3 sets of points & never has a problem with them. Originally I had Lgb & Aristo R1 points & it was fine with both, Now i have Trainline & Piko R3 points & it has no problems with those.I have left it running while i go in & have a meal, get distracted & go back out well over an hour later & it will still be running fine. Should be a good buy.
