Ed - The Beeton Flyer is quite impressive. Is there a history to the last car?

As far as videos go I upload them to YouTube and then post the link.

I had an interesting thing happen with one of the pickle tank cars. When I first tried to run the train the loco kept stalling. Since this was the first time I ran this loco with any cars I thought the train was too long. I took off some cars but the same thing kept happening. However, I noticed finally when I took one of the pickle tank cars off everything ran fine. Put it back on the loco stalled. I then remembered this car had the original metal trucks it came with still on. On the other car the metal trucks broke and I replaced them with plastic ones for an Athearn kit. I also replaced the plastic wheels with metal. I borrowed a set of trucks from another Athearn car and then everything ran fine.
