Going on from this thread a little, I recently purchased the bachman G2 with decoder already instaled, and after going through the running in process, i find that the loco jerks at low speeds, it will not run smoothly, i removed the boiler and applied a few drops of oil in the required places, with no results, but i did notice that there are 2 capacitors fitted? have these been fitted by law? are these causing the jerky movements at slow speed? should i remove them? any comments gratfully recieved.

Thanks for your reply Richard & Zmil, I thought that was the case, so I wonder why they have been left in place, as the loco was purchased new with the decoder fitted, why have Bachman left the capacitors in place when fitting the decoder, seems strange to have to remove them ours selves to get smoother running ?
