Thanks, Dan. That's more than enough to steer me toward a different 
manufacturer.

Locos





It is not a smooth runner, its run is jerky and it cannot go low 
speed

without stopping at some point.



The only way it runs smooth is when you turn it upside down... (this 
is

how some people might try to convince you it is a smooth runner). It

does not handle turnouts very well.



You may try lubrication as well as collecting current from the tender 
to

improve its run, this helps to some extent.

Does anyone out there have experience with the N-scale version of 

Bachmann's 4-8-4 Northern loco? I'm curious as to how well they 
run, 

particularly with DCC decoder installed. Thanks in 
advance.
