Hi everyone,
Last month I purchased one of the 2020 Heljan Class 33s '33063'. I ran it in for about half an hour in each direction and noticed that at slower speeds and round some corners (3rd radius) the motor appeared to 'croak' a bit. This caused the locomotive to stutter a bit at slower speeds but I didn't think much of it at the time. I then took a break from the hobby for a month and came back to discover the problem again which annoyed me this time round. I've added etched nameplates and shedplates meaning I'm not entirely sure I could send it back (I got it from Hattons).
I'm wondering if anyone else has had any similar problems or if anyone has any ideas on what could be causing the problem? I've tried running it in different directions and different speeds and it occurs randomly with no set speed or area where it occurs.
Thank you in advance,
Thomas
