I could have called it "outa luck"
Bought a Kato RSC3 at a show on the weekend,all my engines {10} are from shows and I;ve had good luck,they all seem to run pretty well,till now.
Put it on the layout,by itself,and it made about two laps{about 55 ft} then started to slow down,went another 5 feet an started to smoke.Now it goes real slow forward but seems pretty much normal in reverse.{bearing in mind I've never seen a new engine run}
Oh yeah I run it DC,the guy that sold it said it was DC,it does have directional lighting.
What fried,can it be fixed{easily}and is it worth it.
thanks ahead of time
