I am brand new to model railroading.  Got this Bachmann Spectrum for my 60th birthday.  It runs sooooo slow.  I have to turn the controller all the way up to 70 to get it started, and when I go to the max of 100 it still is moving very slow.  I tried running the train for about an hour to break it in, and now I think it is even slowing down more.  I have checked and double checked all the track connections to make sure all the pins were connected.  Is there something wrong with my Baldwin 2-8-0 locomotive, or is it me?   I even tried running just the locomotive and tender, and it does the exact same thing.
