Thanks for all of your repsonses. I still have some questions. All of my locomotives seem to work the same way. I want to emphasize all work fine with the old inexpensive power supplies and all work fine with the MRC 260 with the momentum turned off. The trains stall only when I use the momentum feature. They will usually run if I start with the power turned up to 50 per cent or higher. They ususally stall only if I try to start at 40 per cent or less. If there is only a delay in getting full voltage, why won't the locomotives run when the voltage increases. They will move if I give them a light tap. Is it still possible that the problem is in the power supplies or is it more likely that the problem is in the track, locomotives or electric cords. I do not have a voltage meter. With the momentum turned off the locomotives start and run fine even if the power is set at 20 per cent and even if I have only one feeder track in each loop. I have never had a locomotive stall with the old power supplies or with the MRC 260 with the momentum feature turned off. I now have two feeder tracks in each loop. The problem seems more serious when the locomotives are far from the feeder track. I am using Kato electric cords. Wouldn't those be designed to be adequate. Really looking forward to any additional comments. Thanks. Larry
