I just started in model railroading and got a layout started called the Twice Senior. I have put down a cork roadbed and put the tracks on that. I have wired the layout according to the Atlas book I have but the train runs sporadically and I have to have it on three quarters to full power before it will run. Anything less the train stops or goes real slow. I bought The Thundering Rails trainset from LifeLike trains. I upgraded the power pak to a railpower 1300 from MRC thinking that the power pak was not strong enough. The train still runs sporadically especially on the straightaways. Any hints or ideas? <br /> <br />Thanks
