Bought recently. Won't run forward - just makes slipping sound like it has stripped gears or something, but it runs fine in reverse. I tried giving it a "nudge" to get it going and the drivers won't roll when nudging it in the forward direction but they roll easily when nudging it in reverse. I guess I could ask the seller for a refund but I'd prefer to keep it and get it fixed. Is this a known problem with these locos? Is it something I can fix myself or do I need to send it to a repair shop? If I can fix it myself, what parts will I likely need and where can I get them? Is there a service manual available for this loco? Appreciate any suggestions 'cause I really want to see this running on my layout
Thanks,
Ken
