Can anyone tell me why my postwar 2035 sometimes cycles into neutral when I go over switches? The e-unit works fine as I cleaned it but it continues to cycle into neutral sporadically.
Try polishing up the rails and the moving switch points on your switches. She is loosing power just long enough for the E unit to drop out when going over your switches. Also, make sure both pickup rollers on the 2035 are clean. Sometimes they will get a built up of gunk on the roller and it wont pick up power as well as it would if its clean. A Q tip soaked with rubbing alcohol is excellent for cleaning wheel treads and rollers. I would make every wheel on that engine clean and shiny. Every little bit helps.
