::)In my previous post I forgot to say the engine is a bachmann.
I was wondering why I never got a responce from them. :o
From observing earlier posts, generally a caption like "Question for the Bachmann" will generate an official Bachmann reply. Concerning your earlier post on your Spectrum SD-45, I ordered one from TrainWorld OnLine recently and it would not run at all. I returned it the same day received to Train World and they gave me credit to upgrade to a competitor's diesel. I have ordered from Train World for years and am completely satisfied with their price and service. Of course if your SD-45 is under a year old, return it to Bachmann for repair or replacement under warranty. From observing the latest Bachmann catalog, I suspect that they are no longer manufacturing the Spectrum SD-45, due to decrease in road names.
