Hi ,,,I have if you were interested a Bachmann class 411 ,4CEP with small yellow panels,only one motor and interior lights ,,,it's absolutely as new ,never been run ,only a brief test ,,the three coaches that make up the set have never been removed,the box/boxes also excellent ,,,Google Bachmann 31-...

Hi ,,,,first of all have you tested each coach individualy to eliminate some of them because it may only be one of them ,,does the loco stall even if it's on its own ,,,,does the loco stall with or without the coaches in the same place ,,,and is the track pinned down flat ,especially the point,,some...
