Humm....this is interesting.. I would post this on the model railroader forums.

Honestly, I don't know what to tell you in that respect. However, I will say this...Model railroading tends to grow on you, Doesn't it?? I have been modeling since 2000, I was 13 when I started. I model in HO, however, I am slowly being converted over to O scale by my father.

My first suggestion would be clean the wheels and clean the track.

10000 feet and no dynamics? Today is going to be a good day ...

All Bachmann Engines inclose a inforation booklet.

Read it or go to their Web site and read it.

Bachmann is very good with working with customers and correcting problems with their equiptment.
