Hello everyone,
I'm having some problems with a bachmann spectrum 2 10 2 I purchased second hand a while ago. The locomotive runs quite unevenly during slow running. Its not related to dirty track or electrical issues. The jerking motion leads me to believe that the issue is more likely mechanical or something along the lines of the driving wheels being out of quarter. During slow running the locomotive has a noticable forward and backward momentum change as well as a side to side rocking motion.
My end goal is to eliminate the jerking and restore smooth low speed running.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to accomplish this?
