The track test results: Bad Motor
It would not respond to power. I took it out of the loco and tried to power it up seperately, but nothing doing.
I then took the motor for the Pacific kit and tried to power it up too... Guess what? Another bad motor. I checked the resistance of the coils, somewhere there is a break in the wires. I am not going to rewind the motors myself. I contacted Bowser, and they are sending new ones.
I think I might upgrade the motors though. I will have to hunt around and see what I can find.
So, until the new motors come, this build is stalled.
I have some building kits that need attention, and a turntable kit to put together too.

Don't follow me, I'm lost too.
