Rivarossi 4-6-4
Very little pulling power even with two new rubber tires.
I'll be adding weight to improve it.
Found space in front of original steel (?) weight, behind smokebox door.
And some room above motor in cab.
Test run with approximate weight, then make a mold of the space, melt the lead and I'll be good to go.
This particular loco runs on Atlas code 83 track, my Rivarossi articulated wheel flanges hit the tie plates.
