That doesn't sound right at all. It shouldn't rocket off as soon as you open the throttle. Either there's something wrong with the loco, or more likely, something wrong with the power pack.
I agree something's not right. The seller gave me a Lionel power pack & whether with that or my HO Tech 2 MRC,the result is the same. If all Atlas GP15s were this way,they'd have had a massive recall. Being new to O Scale 2 rail,I've been told way back the China Drives were not as slow as HO diesels,but this is ridiculous. I was sent 3 rail terminal joiners-could there be a problem there? Sorry,to ask such stupid questions,but this is my 1st O Guage 2 rail diesel & it's NOT a good way to start out.I got a chance to bid on a CSX GP15-do I let it go or take a chance this other GP15 will perform as designed. Maybe I'd better ship it to Atlas & let them have a look see?
Confused.
