has anyone had experience with this Loco?
i just bought it and am having major problems getting it to run. for the first 30 minutes of the usual break-in routine, it jerked, started and stopped as if it were losing contact with the rails (which were clean). that seemed to work itself out somewhat on straight portions of the track, but when the engine goes into even the slightest curve, it stops.
the only consistency is that when it stops, it will start again if i gently nudge one or the other of the sides of the Loco. the problem persists even after 2 hours of running.
am i doing something wrong? i've re-cleaned the wheels AND track with no positive result.
none of my other locos show any such problem on the same track
HELP! :>)
