I know this sounds crazy but did you clean the track and the wheels???? Even if dirt and grime isn't visiable it still could be the issue. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by n2mopac</i> <br /><br />Ok, here is an update. When I went back to it last night the headlights did not come on, but they flash on every time I put the loco on the track or wiggle it a little. At one point as I playet with it it took off and ran forward about 2 feet. I stopped it, reversed it, it ran back a couple of feet, then stopped and did the same thing. Acts like a bad electrical connection to me, but for the life of me I cannot figure out where. I cleaned all of the pickups. Suggestions? <br /> <br />Ron <br /> <br />[/quote]
