Ralph;
I recall back in the 60's (showing my age) that we used to be able to slow down the Athearn "Hi-Fi" drives a bit by wrapping adhesive tape around the large drum on the drive axle. A friend actually got one of the old Hustler's to run quite a bit slower than it did out of the box by doing that. At least it didn't go from 0 to 60 instantly after he worked on it - probably something like 0 to 25 instantly
