I am brand new to the hobby and need some advice. I bought my son a Bachmann starter set for Christmas. Since then we have added a couple of the cheapest line Life-Like locomotives. <br /> <br />The Bachmann loco runs really well. Runs at low speed and is very smooth everywhere on the track. The life-like locos start ,stop and jerk at various parts of the track, especially at the switches. It is Bachmann EZ track. HO. Is this a result of the Bachmann having power to both trucks where the LL only have power to the rear, or is there anyting I can do to improve the performance of the LLs? I have checked all of the connections in the track and they seem good.
