    Hi guys. I have a similar post in Narrow Guage, so I will keep this short. Anybody here run into problems with Bachmann On30 0-4-2 (or other) engines that run smootly forward but are jerky in reverse? Not a power issue but more like a bent rod or something.
    Thanks,
    John

    I wouldn't even mess with with it. Send it back to Bachmann and get a new one. You must have gotten one of the very few bad ones that I have heard of.

    Unfortunately it was an E-Bay purchase...Actually its not too bad since these things are pretty expensive new and I got it for under $15.00. It will have to come apart eventually anyhow so I can install a decoder.
