diesel cut out
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, April 2, 2005 3:09 PM


Help! my new weaver rsd4/5 6 truck diesel cuts out when
when it goes through my car graves switches at slow or
normal speeds. The only way the engine can go through
is at high speed, all my other engines have no problem.
The pickup rollers seem to be too far apart i'm sure this
is the the problem. Any ideas out there for a fix? I run "o"
gauge.

Thanx Mr Bob

I think you'd get a better chance of a reply to your question on the classic toy trains forum or the model railroader forum. Topics here are generally about railroads prior to 1960 (or so). Hope this helps. Since I couldn't help, thought I'd try to steer you to people that can. Good luck.

Mr Bob,

You can turn around the pickup rollers so they are facing the oppiste they are now, which would give you just enought to clear the frog.
