Texas Zepher, THANK YOU (x10)!!!! Thank you for the time to write all that up. Certainly you have added to my thinking that it's the cheapie loco. Funny you had 6 of them at one time! My loco's front truch wheels have clear rubber rings for traction just as you described so there's no slipping. I kept thinking all last night that it was me but there was nothing that I could find, even opening up the loco, that would explain the symptoms. I'm going to take your advice and get a newer and better loco first. You watch, I'll probably end up coming home with the power supply too! :) My son will enjoy this! Jetrock, I did not use any of the old tracks sitting in the basement. They were the original AHM ones and didn't quite look like the Atlas ones. The rails seem to be thicker. My current layout is all new tracks from the LHS. No, I didn't clean them but I doubt they are sitting in the LHS for that long. It's good to know that 11 cars is not unreasonable. LHS here I come! My wallet thanks you! :)
