Joined: 13/01/2021(UTC) Posts: 15		Has anyone who is familiar with this new model experienced any issues with the two motors working against each other (e.g. not in synch) like the issues with the Ae 8/14 motors? I like this loco due to the older style side rods but am concerned about this possible issue.

I like this loco due to the older style side rods but am concerned about this possible issue. There are a few things to check. Install the loco upside down on a foam bed and power it - if the 2 wheel groups run against each other, then someone has modified the wiring - if the 2 wheel groups run in the same direction but with different speed then one of the motors is probably faulty (can order at Märklin for 25 to 30 Euros Cheers Jean

		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! So many trains and so little time.
