The motor has failed and two warped axles.

I was gob smacked on the problems with this model especially the motor fail.
I have about 9 Roco Taurus locos from the last 12 years and they are 100% rock solid.

This has now put me off buying any more new Roco items as the quality has dropped dramatically.
The old Roco models was superior.

I will not be sending this back to Germany.

I will first try a ultra long running in session to see if the problem resolves.


I will retro fit a new motor probably a better quality coreless motor if all else fails.
