I assume the driven wheels must be slipping / skipping. That's it exactly!If so, have you tried:
replace the traction tire with a clean, fresh one. Yep, actually got a tiny bit worse with a fresh one, so I turned over the old one for best resultsadd weight to the locomotive. Not yet
The Power shell on a 2041 normally has a weight riveted to the back of the shell, using the porthole in the door for the rivet. (The dummies do not have this weight, nor do the shells that were sold by MPC).
I don't recall whether the 2024 locos had the weights. No weights on mine, porthole in back door looks completely unscathed by any previous rivetsI think between some extra weight and an extra traction tire wheel (assuming I can find one), this engine's traction will improve dramatically. Some other minor issues such as worm gear alignment, slop in the bottom armature bearing, but nothing that would directly affect traction.
