Reply to "Menards Santa FE F3 Thoughts & A Fix"

Stupid question I guess, but I see many engines like this, which run too fast on the start.  The proposed solution is always to wire the two motors in series.

I would expect that somewhere in the design process, there was an electrical engineer, and some testing of the chassis and motors for these locos.

Question is, then:  Why in the heck doesn't the manufacturer just wire the two motors in series to begin with???

For a person like me, if I have to pay for one of these locos, and then pay someone else another $50 or so to wire it in series, it makes more sense for me to buy a more expensive locomotive instead, that runs well right out of the box.  :-O

Thx,
