Bachmann Locomotives

I've had an interesting problem with the Bachmann F7/F9 (not sure which it's supposed to be!). It ran ok until it reached a Kadee uncoupling magnet, at which point it "ran aground" on the magnet. I solved the problem by filing the baseplate of each truck (remove the sideframe/baseplate moulding from the model to avoid plastic dust getting into the gears). You want to remove the raised areas on the moulding - over the axle gears and in the centre. It now runs fine - I'm planning a repaint into Metra livery as soon as I can source the decals and detailing parts.
