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. |

Actually I have not yet purchased one of these locomotives, I was just wondering if anyone that has one had encountered a problem with the two drives being out of sync. |

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 |

I have the 2014 double Crocodile set with two motors per loco and I have never seen any problems with them.
As far as I can tell both motors work perfectly in synch without any issues and they run beautifully. |

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. |

Thanks for the replies and information from everyone, glad to know this locomotive works correctly with two motors. Guess I will go find one before they are no longer available. |
