Can I run steam engines along side my electric ones?
Insulated wheels are fitted as standard on certain models and are an optional extra on others, but not ‘basic series’ models, so you can operate ROUNDHOUSE steam locomotives on the same track as your electric trains without shorting out the system. Because a working steam engine exhausts a certain amount of water and oil from the chimney, track cleaning may be required a little more frequently but this does not normally cause a problem.
