Jim, My guess is that you have a wiring problem and that the locomotive and power pack are fine. I recommend that you isolate the problem by taking the loco back to the dealer for a test and checking the output voltage on the power pack (assuming you did not hook the track power to the AC terminals). If both these tests check out, then you know it is somewhere in the track, although the 'Momentum Control' observation earlier may be the solutiion. Incidently, my MRC power pack with momentum control 'on' will take more than a minute to start a train rolling. I don't know if a miswired reverse loop would cause this kind of problem, but if you have reverse loops in your track I would check them out to make sure they are properly isolated. Good Luck - Ed
