AND, last but not least, consider sending the loco to you for adjustment - how do you like them apples?
Not a problem Rick, always good to see your smiling face romping about the forum!..☺️...IF I were to get one, my first move would be to throw that Cannon motor in the trash can...she’d have a Pittman before the evening! ..I’d void the warranty before before the brown truck left the driveway!....😜........Pat
