Bachmann Mikado with Trix FM in tender

An article I can't recall led me to repower this Bachmann 2-8-2 with a Sagami can motor and flywheel in the early 1980s. I found that the loco ran at the same speed as my Trix FM-44-10. I couldn't resist the temptation - the switcher became the Mikado's tender. Power? She'll pull a town into the next county.
