Thanks Loco Bill. My friend called them and they refused to fix it? Maybe they will help me out.

A party asked me to fix this. The drive axle broke in two and the drive gear is worn out were the worm gear makes contact.

Yampa Bob, I agree with you on some of your ideas.

Trains do have some cars that do not roll as easy as others. I model the fifties and have other units that pull twenty over that grade, Stewarts.  Bachmann has made changes in there products and the shark looks nice, not quite right measurements, still good looking and a decoder already aboard. The FT's puull better and just wondered why the shark does not.

All axles powered, operating on 100 code atlas track, NCE dcc and half the cars are free rolling. Wheels were slipping, a real poor example for Bachmann.

I purchased this new a week ago and it will only pull six cars up a 2% grade!?

Is this what they all are rated or is mine a dud?

Thanks
Mark
