I agree with this fellow, the spectrum steam engines are swell runners... at least mine was. I was runnning my 2-8-0 and then it came to a sudden stop. I checked the wheels and the track and everything was OK. The tender was correctly plugged to the engine and everything was screwed on nicely. I took it apart to see if something got tangled with the gears or something but everything was all right. I operated the motor (just the motor) and only ran if I spinned the flywheel a bit. I also noticed some sparks inside it. Can anyone tell me what's wrong??
