I'll step out on a limb here and say it's the power supply. I'm guessing that it's overloading, the voltage is sagging on the system, and that just maybe it's overheating. Do you have access to a voltmeter? Watch the track voltage (or power supply voltage) as your little tank engine runs aroiund the track, and compare it to when one of the larger locomotives run around the track. If the power supply's doing its job, the voltage performance should be similar. If the power supply's running out of gas the results will be quickly apparent. Good luck! Mark in Utah
