Guys, I please need some advice. I ordered a new in the box, RMT Beep, from Ebay. It arrived today. What a beautiful locomotive and just the right dimensions for my layout.
But, when I put it on the tracks, in only limps along at about 1/4th the speed of any other locomotive I have. And, it pauses over every switch.
I understand that these are geared low, and have two motors, and are switchers, but is this normal???
Interestingly, in my search for a new BEEP (which now hard to find at a reasonable price), I saw one listed last week that said it was new in box from the factory, but that when tested, it ran extremely slow, was most likely defective, and that the buyer was accepting it on that basis.
Thanks for all information.
