[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by deschane</i> <br /><br /> When I started testing it out and began having problems, one of the first things I did, was disassembled and clean the all electrical contacts in both engine and tender, so I could rule them out as a source of the trouble. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />well if you've ruled out the Motor, the pickups, and any electrical connections, then you shouldn't have any problems. So let's focus on the track..... <br /> <br />1) Are you getting a full 12 volts to the rial in all locations? <br />2) does it bog down only in certain spots? Turnouts, ect <br />3) have you run feeders about every 3 feet? don't rely on rail joiners for power, they're not good for it. <br /> <br />Jay
