I have a new Spectrum DCC Sound N&W Class J.  Just test ran it last night.  The locomotive seems very stiff, hard to get started, the chuff precedes the movement of the loco from a dead stop.

What is the chance that running will loosen up the binding or stutter, etc.?  Would I be better off to return it to Bachmann now?

Anyone have any experience with the new Js??


Thanks,

Phil Bostian
