The link to the Model Railroad Hobbyist shows how I installed a Lenz decoder and added
wheel wipers changing the poor four wheel pick up to all wheel (12 wheels) pick up.

The link to the Model Railroad Hobbyist shows the critique of the Mantua 2-6-6-2 Tank Engine.
It shows the extensive problems of the engines drive train, namely the wheels and rods of the engine.
It also shows how I installed all wheel pickup. Plus I added an auxiliary tender that gives me 32 wheel pick up.
