The use of traction tyres is, I believe, a backward step.

There is no substitute for a good motor, DCC control and pleanty of weight...

How do the traction wheels work and how would a more powerful motor help traction?  With too much power you might end up with the problem West Country Class locos used to have slipping every time they set off with a rake of coaches.

Plenty of weight I would agree with.

Cheers,
