The Super Chief locomotive and cars are absolutely beautiful. I've bought • 15
sets so far, and I could see buying more. But, it is the poorest running
train since the inception of 9V.

Interesting - Jeremy Rear brought his Santa Fe ABA set to NWBrickcon this
weekend and it kept slowing down to a crawl at certain places on the track
for no discernible reason. Good old Thomas the Tank engine barreled merrily
through the same places pulling a train of cars. We never did work out what
the problem was before Jeremy had to pack up and go home.


This is a real shame. These sound like pretty basic (ie avoidable) faults.
