[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bangert1 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Gibson Good concept; Nice detail; Gorgeous paint. - BUT.... Indifferent Q.C. (Some run well, some don't). F- 7's: 2 motor's went bad (3 amps) - replaced. SD 75's - warped trucks - derails on turnout's. Their RTR have simlar QC problems. "Say something good" department: My CF-7's are flawless. (What went wrong?) [/quote] Don, I have a question about the warped trucks. Are they repairable or did you mean you replaced them. Did Athearn replace them or did you buy the new ones? I talked to Athearn about the early F unit trucks binding up and they wanted me to send them back to them for repair. I ended up installing Kato wheel sets to fix the problem, not sending them back to the same poor quality control people that made the units. [/quote] It is fixable. Like I was saying drill out the center bearing. Don't know about the B trucks though....
