Run it on a oval without any turnouts for 30 minutes forwards and backwards. If it still runs bad, my experiences are they going to be bad runners. That's true for both AZL and MTL.

I also like to run a loco clockwise and counter-clockwise. The biggest issue with running a burn-in procedure, is waiting the half hour before you start playing with the engine.

I do 15 forward and 15 reverse on an oval test track before I do anything to them.

CN GP38-2 is broken in so to say I'm very pleased it ran like a dream I can't wait to see what it will pull. CN GP38-2 number 2 is on the rails right now hopefully it will do just as good then I can do the other 3 haha I'm going to be sitting here watching locos run all night

So number 2 went off without a hitch very happy with the pair of CN locos now the CP rail gp38-2 ran about 2 laps of the oval before grinding to a halt lol being in Canada I thought if I save the shipping and the hassle from sending it over borders maybe I could learn in the process well I was right I pulled the shell off and undid the screws like a kid running through a candy store and all the sudden it fell into many pieces it took me a while but it's a fairly simple design and now that locos has been running like a top I have no idea what the issue was but hey I'm not going to complain and I'm proud of my first tear down or fall apart as I like to call them
