S-250:I love that lineup! What motivated you to put the motor in the tender?

3. Where the tender wheels are part of the electrical pickup, the motor being there improves the tender wheels contact with the track, and I can add more weight to the loco for better pulling power.

Interesting. We often see it with old time 4-4-0, but with a longer and larger loco like yours, it must work well.
