Jim (JP GPS),
Thank you for posting this thread. I just opened one of these locos that a customer had ordered (we like to test the equipment before letting the customer know that its here, just in case there is a problem). Well, guess what I found? Yes, the same problem that yours came with. Fortunately I had been reading this thread, and so I knew exactly what to do. Not more than five seconds later all was well. And the locomotive runs great. I hope that the customer will like it too.
Yours,
Stuart
