The loco mechanism is good right, has a very simple mechanism (the most simple so far) a spur gear straight from the motor to the drive axle, the motor has a green end cap but it's not a power dash. It cannot free roll but that doesn't matter too much. A wheel/drive axle swap is not possible due to an all new smaller wheel design. tire replacement is not possible due to there being no lip to hold it in place plus they are too big (regular tires). No traction is my biggest and only issue with the locomotive apart from the looks. After close inspection the activator on the bottom near the drive axle (the bit that pushes on auto points etc) is far too low and the loco is bottoming out far too easily and becoming beached on plarail track.
