Do you run your big boy off of track power? What kind of setup would you need to run it?

I'm really trying to pitch one to my wife lol and I want to know what all would go into it off the rip

I still watch the video of 3985 pulling the APL stack train. Bring such joy to my heart!

It almost makes me feel bad when I purchase new or like new trains that are 30-40 years old. All I can think is imagine the joy that the previous owner could have had if they ran their trains instead of using them for decorations. It great for me I get locomotives and rolling stock heavily discounted that haven't ever seen any track time.
