>:(This model runs very poorly and constantly stalls and needs a push and it isn't a track issue or breaking in time because all my other Athearn and brass imports locos run fine.  I just want to complain, it just isn't respectable to produce poor quality locos.   All model locos should come out of the box and run fine and that is not the case with many Bachmann models.  If anyone knows what needs to be done to make this 4-4-0 run better let me know.  It is real frustrating that Bachmann cannot work the bugs out or just lacks quality control in the production of their models.   I was warned by the other modelers that 50% of these models are known to have running issues but often you just cannot test the locos before buying them.
