Was so happy when Bachmann announced the Berkshire which I purchased and still love sound is good pulls fairly well but has anyone
looked at drive rods I've heard of binding seems to be a non issue for me, my problem is the binding of the drive rods for the 4 drivers,2 geared wheel sets 2 seperate drive rods connecting 3 driver sets 1&3 -3&4 I believe if the drive rods set-up like the 2-8-0 there would less of a herky jerky movement at speed steps 1 thru 6 or gear the last driver I've looked at mine very closely an the drive rods do not stay on the same plain for they seem to kink slightly, causing the herky jerky movement has anyone else noticed this. This is a great looking locomotive but
sum what disappointed with this it shows all the way thru the passenger cars herkin and jerkin if the main drive rod was one piece connecting all three like the 2-8-0 it would run SO MUCH smoother do we think that Mr Bachmann can
look into this for a possible fix I believe this would make very good locomotive to a excellent locomotive not a engineer just like to tinker.
