Since the problem does not occur in the same place all the time it appears that its at the point where the power feeds to the track. Check that connection closely. I'm assuming that you are using one of those "snap on" connections for 3 rail track. Make sure its secure against the outer and inner(center) rail. Also look for loose track pins. They can sometimes work loose. Try a different loco. If it does the same thing then the problem is mostly likely as above...if not you may have a loose connection inside your new engine. Hope this helped....Vic
