Mike: If what you have is a new and not "never broken in" locomotive one or more of the driver wheelsets might be slightly "out of quarter" which is causing a slight bind in the main rod. Another possibility is the gear train is binding for one reason or another. This possibility requires disassembly of the gear tower to check. I suggest you take the engine to either your LHS or local club and get some expert advice. Its very difficult to diagnose the problem without actually seeing the loco in operation. Good Luck Randy
