QUOTE (60134 @ 4 Oct 2007, 15:28) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Just had a chance to inspect the newly released Bachmann Class 37/4 Scotrail loco and two of the batch failed to run at all - one bogie was getting the drive but the other none at all - has anyone else had this problem? Bachmann have asked for a return because the cardan shafts have dis-engaged.....
I have seen odd examples of this over the years on shaft drive models of various makes. No problem with the components, engage the shaft correctly, and ever after all is well, and no amount of experimental wigglings and positionings of the bogie while shaking, inverting, whatevering, the loco ever induce it to come out again. I reckon these are most likely assembly errors.
