Just took delivery of MTH Rugged Rails 2-8-0 Christmas PS3 steam engine. I am having problems with the drawbar connection cutting in and out. It clicks into the tender but even then I have to jiggle or massage the darn thing to get it to start up. Any dip in the track or running it over switches often cause the connection to be lost and the engine then shuts down.
Have others had this issue? If so, is there a common fix I can try? I don't really want to go through the hassle of sending it back, but I don't think it'll be much fun to run if I have to constantly take this off the track and re-start the engine. Man, I hate it when I get something that doesn't work as it should out of the box.
