In the interview they mention that HO trains really aren't meant for
that kind of long hard usage. A much smaller local layout built in a
children's hospital has some of the same issues, with the worst
performer being Thomas the Tank Engine.
I would hope that the S layout in Cleveland or Cincinnati ?? is getting
better performance from their engines.
I do remember reading an article of a prior 0 layout in Chicago where it
was stated that the side rods, bearings and most everything else that
moved was totally worn out.

Nice story tonight on WTTW's Chicago Tonight on the guy who
manages the Museum of Science and Industry's behemoth model train
layout.
