Here's my newest HO-scale locomotive for pulling the holiday train: a Bachmann DCC-equipped USRA 0-6-0 steam locomotive and tender car in the New Haven scheme (because the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad originally owned the tracks in my area, before the Penn Central, Conrail and CSX buyouts/mergers).
But it has trouble pulling the Christmas cars by itself. So until I can apply a bit of frog snot to the wheels or something, I'm having a helper engine for the Christmas train, like with some real-life special steam trains.

Nice loco, Wiley. Frog Snot is expensive, hard to apply, and doesn't last very long. You might want to
consider settling for shorter trains. I know this unit, it is not an impressive puller. I think the drivers
are pick ups, so frog snot, even if you can get it on, will insulate them.
