HO scale Reading T1 problem
« on: April 17, 2023, 06:40:48 PM »

So last week I scored an HO T1 . Seller said it runs great ....but.  This is a DCC ready loco no decoder yet . On my Railpower 1370 power pack I have to move the throttle past 50% in order to get it to move , and then it takes off like a rocket . I can get it to slow down a bit afterward . Could this be the powerpack affecting the motor , I've never seen this problem before with other DC locos . Or is it possible the motor is bad ?  The drivetrain seems to be OK and I see no out of place connecting rods . Any ideas ?       Mike
