Broadway & Lenz
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, July 5, 2003 5:46 PM
Hi guys => take a look at this:
When putting any of my broadway-limited-locos on the track, the engine will run totally normal for a few feet, then stops and accelerates again. This process repeats itself every few feet. I'm using the Lenz-system and didn't have trouble with any other manufacturer's locos.

Any ideas?

Double check the voltage on the track. The BLI locomotives shut down if it exceeds 20 volts, which is not uncommon with minimal load on the power station.

As an experiment, run some more locomotives on the track at the same time as the BLI; does that make a difference.
