All ready to run locomotives will have their quartering set very slightly out so they lump along the track as badly as most chassis I build the first time the power is turned on.
They will NOT be allowed to run as sweetly as this 65 quid Hornby loco straight from the box.
Grrrrrr.
I have just bought a Hornby Black 5 R3453. Took it to the club for an extended run on the test track and it simply glided along, forwards and in reverse.
