[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Railroading_Brit Probably a Bachmann On30 0-4-2 Porter. Pretty much every other Bachmann loco has been ok, apart from quartering and gauge problems on steamers. This thing seems to have a gear problem that makes it jump vertically once every wheel rotation. I've had it apart a few times and failed utterly to figure out the problem, so it sits boxed on a shelf. I had every intention of fitting one of the Backwoods Miniatures detailing kits but it's not worth spending more on a loco that doesn't run properly. Worst £30 I ever spent... [/quote] Mine has the same problem. Just loosen the rear screw holding the bottom cover plate. I'm going to try to increase clearance for the one gear that sticks out, but loosening the plate works fine for now. Juan
