Shalom Avi My strong suspicion is that the power bogies were not re-assembled properly and/or the powered bogies are not seated properly in the chassis Could also be that the pony wheels and their chassis are not mounted in the proper sequence. Just in case, here's the exploded view https://medienpdb.maerkl...es/1/pdf/37490_explo.pdf Besseder? Good luck Edited by user 27 March 2017 11:09:37(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
