Jason, some locomotives are just plain picky. I found this tip on another site. A 2200 uF 25 volt electrolytic capacitor installed between the decoder, and it's power connections will solve the problem, if nothing else does. It acts like a small "battery" storing enough electricty just long enough to keep the locomotive running over small gaps in electrical current and dirt on the track.
