Thanks for that.

I will let you know what their service people say about me sending the J back to them post free!

Hi Barry,
 
This is a common feature of Bachmann in the US. Their 
Spectrum line Locos are very hit or miss, sometimes they run great, 
sometimes they don't work at all right out of the box and have to be returned. I 
have several that run fine, (a couple of consolidations and a heavy mountain) 
but, I belong to a 60+ member club and know some members hate their stuff. 
Bachmann is apparently much more highly regarded in Europe than it is here. The 
Spectrum line, even thou it's Bachmanns top of the line, is only just a step 
above starter level IMHO. I wouldn't buy Bachmann if there was an 
alternative. But even Broadway can send out problem locos. Two of my five 
BLI locos (an A and a Y6b) had to be returned for factory 
service.

Hallo

I received my Bachmann J last week from Internet 
  Hobbies. DCC ready and looking very good and of course for a UK resident, very 
  big. But it is totally dead. Nothing works, no movement, no lights and no 
  sound at all.

Is this a common feature with the Bachmann Spectrum range 
  or am I unlucky?

Cheers

Barry Reeves
