I just bought a new bachmann James for my layout. When couple 13 cars behind him he just slips! It this only my James or does everyone's James do this?
I have seen the performance of my buddie Corrie's James and it can't even go up his hills without sliping. James cant pull all that much sorry to say. :(
Thats the way James is. Well for HO standards...
I bet if I put weights in him he would preform alot beter. ;)
I have a problem with my james too. whenever i want to run him around my layout, he will not budge until i move him in a running position. i checked all the gears and cleaned the pickups(brass piece that make the wheels move) i tried every thing but none of them worked, so i have to fiddle with the position
can anyone help me with the problem?

Could be a quartering problem, when he runs does he seem to jerk along the track?
sometimes, but it is a pain in the butt to me
Does he seem to move in bursts?
