Hi All,
1.
I received a Kato NW2 (HO) from a friend and it runs great. However, I noticed that only one truck picks up power. When cleaning the wheels, I roll one truck on a paper towel wet with denatured alcohol, and rev the power. Worked great for the front truck, but when I rolled the rear truck onto the paper towel, the no power was received.
In all of my other engines, one side's wheels pick up power and the other side returns it. Is Kato different?
2.
How the devil do you get the shell off of these things? I can't seem to get tabs to release and don't want to break anything. (Guy at the LHS says he has broken some...)
Thanks!
Pete
