<p>First off, anyone get the paralleling pun? </p> <p>I recently decided to lose my mind and do something I swore I would never do, and purchase N scale products (had a bad experience when younger). When on DC power (this one also has Lenz DCC decoder, that I have yet to run on DCC), the locomotive runs about the same speed as my two atlas GP-35s in the long hood direction. In short hood direction it runs considerably slower as if the gears where slipping. Motor RPMs sound high compared to the GP-35s in long hood direction, and extremely high in short hood direction. </p> <p>Trucks appear to have the same amount of slop in either direction by finger test, and the gear in the center spins when I run the truck over my finger (separated from chassis weight.</p> <p>Anyone know of a fix for this?</p>
