I've only had one bad US-outline loco, and that was an N scale Bachmann F7A - it didn't run at all well, was getting very warm and slow, until I did a bit of investigating and found they'd not put one of the pickups in correctly - it was sort of mangled and shoved in. I took it out and straightened it which cured the problem - that's the only one I've had though. <br /> <br />Just don't ask about British Bachmann OO - have an LMS "Jubilee" class loco that took me about 6 months to sort out, as on delivery the wheels were out of gauge and the quartering was out, resulting in very lumpy running. It's now silky-smooth though i won't be buying any more of their steamers - a lot of effort to put in on an expensive loco that should run perfectly from the box. Interestingly their diesels seem fine, though I wi***hey'd fit lights to the rest of them - must have cost a fortune to make a lighting set for the "37" and they could easily fit it to others!
