[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by swdave Ran about 30 feet derailed on a 22in. turn ,also going thru,a no.6 switch.Then it stopped and just will not go, when you crack the thottle you can get to idle,but when you go any further it will not move and just starts sounding like a record on a turntable with a skip. The front truck seems to be hanging up making it to derail?? I sure hope BLI stands behind these. Will let all know what I hear from them. [/quote] I just got my undec SW7 ph2 from Tony's - mine's wired the right way round and I just love the sound. My SW seems to have similar the same problems to those that swdave describes with the front truck seeming to hang up. When the front truck derails on a sharp curve or turnout, (and if of course if it doesn't short out the rails) the loco looses all power - even though the rear truck is still on the track. Once its rerailed it goes through its start up sounds sequence again. It also has a tendancy to just stop for no reason - I had put this down to my layouts dirty rails (I've just finished doing some ballasting on one section of the layout and it needs an extra clean), but my P2K Alco switchers and GP7 have no problem with the same piece of track I'm begining to wonder ....[sigh]
