Ok, I'm going to elaborate EVEN MORE to see what you gurus think on the subject. I think I stated before that it usually only does this on grades (the only grade on the layout shouldn't be there because it happened as a result of the layout being semi-dismantled for a time and the whole 8x4 structure bowed in the 8 dimension) and this grade should soon be gone as my dad and I are going to straighten the framework with a special clamp and some angle iron. Most of my engines do this buzzing noise at the same spots that the Consolidation does. It almost sounds like an electrical buzzing.....Do you think it's possible that the grade or electrical problems could be causing my locos to do this? Also, I've found that about 75% of the time they only do it at low speeds. I am already planning to replace a large part of my sectional track with some more flex-track for electrical reasons and I will try to not only add wood to the sides as you guys suggested but where possible I will redo the roadbed and track to make the layout safer for engines and my wallet.
