<p>[quote user="gatrhumpy"]</p> <p>They did do research, but applied the locomotive to as many roadnames to appeal to as many people as possible. You should detail it to how you want to and reletter/renumber it.</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I maintain that either their research was inadequate or a delibrate decision was made to number them outside of this group USRA allocation group.</p> <p>[quote user="BMMECNYC"]</p> <p>Even though MEC was allocated USRA orginals (621-626), Bachmann inexplicably chose to not letter them as such (at least the valve gear would have been correct).</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>But this post is more about the operating characteristics than the detail errors. I have come to expect detail errors, but not poor operating. As a side note, I have noticed that it seems that either the tender or the drive wheels are not picking up power consistantly. I will be disecting the tender to have a look at wiring.</p>
