Thanks very much Wayne,
to be fair, I had a feeling you would be the one replying as I had spotted something resembling a Bachmann Mountain from you before and lo and behold, that was correct.
Anyway I will carefully check over the mechanisms and make sure everything is in quarter. I run DCC with Sound , so I do have to rely on the additional wires running between tender and loco so that the wires from the motor lead to the decoder.
I've also already identified issues with the pickups on the loco, some don't touch drivers very well, and others had moved a bit such that they interfered with the spokes on one of the wheels, that was quicly adjusted, but aside from that I'll check over the rest of the engine carefully and will share my findings here for everyone who may have one of these too.
Cheers!
