When i bought my Roundhouse loco earlier this year, the recommendation were the loco would require "running-in" under a light load for a couple of hours.

I have tried to point out that visitors far outnumber members and appealed for them to join, so we hav...

Steve, keeping this forum moving forward with a transfer would be the best for it [IMHO], so if this achievable please go for it
