Reply to "Looking for thoughts/info about Lion Chief Plus diesels"

Had 3 locomotives not working. 1) A MTH Alco C628 new this month that after running fine for a week started stopping over switches. Called MTH and got a RA number and the lady said turn around is about 10 weeks. Tried running it again, stopped again - took loco off the track and looked at the offending pickup arm and found it partly retracted - lubricated the arm so it moves freely and now it works properly. 2) A Lionel scale PRR K4 purchased new in 2014 for  about half retail started shorting out. After ignoring it for months put in on the track and tested it. It stopped after a while with the round disc and screw under loco. This disc help keep the leading wheels aligned - screwed disc back in and no shorts. 3) Since I was on a roll looked at the LionChief+ NW2 again - tried putting a lot more Lionel smoke fluid down the stack than the instructions said - now it smokes. 3 for 3 today.
