Ever since buying a Bachmann southern pacific GS4 I've had nothing but derailing issues so I decided to buy one from a different manufacturer this time.

I found a brass Sunset models daylight on eBay for auction which I bought at a good price mostly because the condition was non working.

Getting this locomotive running wasn't too tricky as it mostly just needed fresh oil and cleaning however after the first test it was clear it wouldn't run on my layout without some work.

I ended up having to replace two wheel sets as well as sand the flanges on the centre driving wheels. I also rewired the tender and added a bolt for a drawbar.
