Reply to "S gauge FlyerChief GP7's are arriving from dealers...tell us your views and/or reviews."

I received my replacement UP GP7 and today I tested it.  All features were good until I tested the front coupler.  It would not open on command.  Looking through the front pilot I could see one wire broken off.  Under the hood, you can see there was not enough slack left in the coupler wires for following curves.  Too short. One wire does not reach and one is barely hanging onto the solenoid.  See the photo.  This does not look like an easy fix as I think the attachment point is under shrink wrap tape.  Anyone else have this problem?  Also it does not like S-Trax, derailing in a few track joints where the inside surface of the rails are not perfectly aligned.  Gauging or maybe rail is not tall enough (possible issues).  So it was fun to run and the bluetooth app is very nice!  But no working front coupler!  DARN.  Anyone fixed a coil coupler and have advice...or send it back yet again?
