SMR248 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Have you tried running it in, as per the instructions, without a load?It's a model of a shunter with a top speed of 20mph so, personally, I would expect it to be running "slow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 It does run far too fast for 20mph scale speed but Hornby would no doubt be criticised if they limited it. Those who want to run scale speeds can do so with the controller. My model started a little hesitantly but runs very well after running in as directed.

GMD Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Have you checked how free wheeling the freight is? There is a massive variation. Could be that your wagon wheels are causing major drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
