Thinking on it now I realize that my post of "Powered tenders" wasn't quite accurate. I would like to add not another drive, but pick up shoes into the trucks on my tenders. The problem is ONLY on turnouts. The engines have no problem anywhere else on the layout, its only on the turnouts. I have 2 Bachmann Silver 2-8-0's and an Athearn 2-8-2 that I would like to modify so thier wheels pick up power. My drive wheels are clean, my drive rods have free motion in thier alotted paths, and the bushings are fine, and the rail is spotless. I would also be intrested in trying to figure out how to power my points on my turnouts as that would also help solve the problem.
