Do you have a circuit breaker on you layout? What system are you using

I had this problem also running 2 brand new locos, I cleaned track to make sure that wasn't an issue, 

I use NCE with the SB3a booster with a EB1 circuit breaker and all I had to do was adjust the jumpers on the breaker to allow more amp draw .

It seemed the QSIs draw a bit more power to run so it kept tripping the breaker. Since then I have had no problems at all

if you have an EB1 you can find the manual online 

Just search " EB1 circuit breaker manual"

Hi,

I had a similar issue with 2 P2K RS-27's running in consist.  Over a particular turnout the units would stop and restart even though others would run without difficulty.  Dirty track.  The RS-27's must have hit the dirty track at the particular area to cause them to restrart .

All the best.

All the best.

Dirty wheels, dirty pickups, dirty track.

Even fresh out of the box does not guarantee clean wheels - there could be residue like cutting oil from when the wheels were turned, or excess lubricant from the gears oozed over things.

Troubleshooting Walther's Proto 2000 w QSI system:

A & B units fresh out of the box, stop & restart by themselves, When run for just a couple minutes they shut down and re start. sometimes even shutting down my DCC system. so I have to reboot the system, any ideas?
