a Key Imports brass HO scale Denver and Rio Grande Western M-75 4-8-2 3rd Cylinder locomotive that I just purchased from Dans Train Depot aka BrassTrains.com. The eccentric rods were loose and missing parts so I modified a varney eccentric crank and aligned the cranks using the blueprints found in the June 1984 issue of Model Railroader. So far I love this engine and it's a welcome addition to my M-78 that I have. The engine is missing some other key details but I'm going to fix that, and freelance it to choice. 

The engine is so heavy, so I'm expecting it to pull lots

I love Samhongsa brass because they have smooth running chassis and the larger engines can take tighter radiuses than other brass makers. This engine can take my 22 inch radius curves nicely :)
