just got back from the railway. i got a volt meter but i wasnt exactly sure how to read it. where ever i was on the track it was the same thing anyway. i set it high and it went to 100 everywhere. then i cleaned the wheels on the loco. this made a HUGE difference. i think one problem is that all i have right now is a locomotive and no rolling stock. the wheel base on the 0-4-0 is really narrow and tipsy. i think its so tipsy and light that its having a hard time maintaining a connection. i did buy the thing used- but i dont know how to tell which model it is. the wheels are completely chrome. i havent seen any other 0-4-0s on the web with wheels like mine. my power supply is an astron rs-35a running to a train engineer art-5471. can someone tell me what sort of power i have running to the track with this information? im really sorry i dont know this stuff, be patient, im learning. so the clean wheels make a huge difference, but i think i need to really go to town on the track like a previous post suggested i do. i have wiped it down, and scrubbed i know i could do a better job. <br />
