Here's my experience:
Ten year old 0-4-0 -- there may be this age still on dealer shelves or in mailorder house inventory.
Problem: As stated above, the wheels do get dirty. Remedy: Install in the slope-back tender (it was available then) the LGB ball bearing wheels with pickups and feed into the engine. This works great.
I do hope this wheelset will be available from Marklin -- it has saved me electrical hassles with a number of locos -- the Hartland "Mack" gems work wonders with a gon connected to the loco using these pick-up wheels.
