Mantua 2-6-6-2 Articulated w/Tender Southern Pacific HO

I would like to get some opinions on the Mantua 2-6-6-2 Articulated w/Tender Southern Pacific HO


I had trains in the past and wanted to set up a new track in my new house for a while. The plain is for a large track with single train and a lot of cars. I want a Steam Engine that can easily handle the load.

any insight would be greatly appreciated

thanks Mike
