Interesting that someone above wrote that Bachmann probably doesn't test run their engines. On another thread here, someone posted some pics of Athearn's facility (here in the US!). Notice that there are a couple of loops of track on tables. A MRR article several years back discussed this. Apparently each and every Athearn engine (at least those made in the U.S.) gets a run on the track, to ensure they operate properly. Could this be why Athearn blue box have such a loyal following?
