I just need to vent a little here . I've been waiting to get my hands on one of the new Aristocraft Dash 9's for a while now . Finally last week I had the money and my railroad supplier had the road that I was waiting for in stock . So I got in my car and drove the 140 mile round trip to pick up my dream engine .When I got home I took it out of the box and thanked my understanding wife , not in that order and gazed at this beautiful locomotive . After a while I took it downstairs to my basement to test it on my short test track and it ran like crap . It seems like they didn't put grease or something in the front motor block and at low speeds the rear truck would pu***he front truck along and all of a sudden it would leap forward .Not to mention the horrid grinding noise after it did get going.So now it sits back in its box waiting for the UPS man to pick it up .Even though I played with it for just a few hours I feel like I am loosing a old friend .I know this sounds dumb and there are a lot worse things that can happen to someone but I thought someone out there could relate to this experence. Anyway I guess i'll be waiting once more . I'll go now and gaze at my SD-45 . <br />
