It's funny you mentioned that because I had an identical thing happened to me when I first got my Precision Craft E7 in UP.  It's just a very small manufacturing fault where the truck cover cannot be held completely by the truck's clips...I mean those things are tiny and the truck/gear cover just sitting very slightly out and it's enough to cause my E7 to clip on turnouts everytime and the thing would just come to a grinding stop.  Lucky the Precision Craft's warranty service was top notch and replaced it in no time.[quote user="Dave Vollmer"] More N scale fun...Was disturbed to hear a grinding noise coming from my Kato E8.  It was intermittant, so I couldn't tell what was up.  Then suddenly the front power truck jammed.  Couldn't figure out why.Turns out a tiny little "fuzzy" of unknown origin (I'm looking at the dog) worked its way into the front power truck (how?  It has a gear cover...).  Of course, the little fuzzy got wrapped around one of the gears, but in such a way that I had to disassemble the whole front truck.After getting it all back together, things work great!  But it's funny to think of scale.  A whole dog probably could't jam up a real E8, but a tiny fuzzy the size of pencil tip brought my N scale PRR Blue Ribbon Fleet to a standstill![/quote]
