Rick,

As I put in an earlier thread, my B&M Mogul had a bad wobble on the test track at my LHS and I ended up replacing the traction tires with the spares in the package, but it still doesn't look just right to me. It doesn't seem to have a pronounced jerkiness like others have posted, but I have noticed that the response time between turning the red knob and the engine actually moving seems to have a delay in it - unlike my other Legacy engines - perhaps due to some play in the rods. I'll check further tonight. I took the shell off and the flywheel seems pretty smooth.

My main problem is with the smoke unit. I noticed that there was a "bubble" at the bottom of the brass stack on top of the smoke unit that was apparently preventing it from smoking. I removed it and it ran fine. I wonder if that was enough resistance to trigger the voltage sensor and start the blinking light fault sequence.

There are lots of different MTH tire diameters and widths to choose from. I'll check the wheel dimensions tonight, but do you know the MTH part number or diameter and width of the traction tires you used ? Thanks.

Rich
