This steam train is composed of 4-4-2 Reading steam engine 8402 (blt. 1984), two green hoppers 16460 (blt. 2002), a gondola with coil covers 17405 (blt. 1994) and a bay window caboose 6439 (blt. 1984). It is a very smooth running train that is able to run very slowly. It forms small smoke puffs while running. The caboose has a bit jumpy third rail connector and needs a new spring. Twenty years ago I added some light sewing machine oil in the chimney and it still smokes, although the smell of the smoke is less attractive nowadays.
