Have you had it from new? Has it always run slowly since you had it? I can’t imagine Ron would send an engine back if it still had a problem.

Yes, it was an online purchase brand new from [apparently now-defunct] Chick's Hobby Shop. Chick upgraded the unit for DCC operation. No problem there- -all functions installed work perfectly.

Ron told me [via phone] that American Models is unable to evaluate the performance of any DCC-equipped locomotive [their shop lacks even a rudimentary DCC system for this purpose]. Presumably he ran the loco on DC after completing the repair. Evidently it didn't run "too slow" for him; otherwise he would not have shipped it back to me without indicating [on the invoice or by phone] that it had such a problem.
