I watched some bloke fiddle with the pilot truck of his after he melted it by running across isolation gaps and causing a short circuit.But that guy doesn't count for any statistics. No matter what he has, there is bound to be all kinds of strange problems. That guy would end up having problems even with an engine that Max had worked on.
still run it?
ever change the traction tire?
willing to inspect it for cracked axles?
had a driver fall off?
I have a friend who has melted a tender truck... have you done that?
do you treat it any different than a b-mann hvy Mtn?(They came out near each other)
I think I am unusual in that I like to have an old RR pacificpulling cars on the loop of track... as company while I tinkerand model.I use Kato Hudsons for this service as well. the gs-4 is not one I like for this, it is a little too quiet I think.
First run GS-4 owner here. Read about the DCC issue before ever putting it on the layout, so simply waited for the fix inserts. Never had a problem with it, never threw a traction tire. Still run it constantly, hours at a time.That melted dome is a tragedy! Incandescent car lighting and DCC should never mix. If you run DCC and have the old incandescent lighting, make it a priority to remove or replace those with LEDs!
