Hello John <br /> <br />Your problem is certainly to do with conductivity! or lack thereof. If the track is clean I mean with a slight shine on it and no and I no funny lookng patches (I get residue on mine from palms and ferns particularly when it rains). Look at the pick up wheels I have had trouble with reside getting on the metal wheels and causing flicker and uneven running in illuminated carriages. f you have a multimeter go over every joint with power on and the meter on Volts DC about 20 or less and you should read nothing; if you read anything it means that you are dropping voltage across that joint. I solder mine and I have none of these troubles now. <br /> <br />I had no idea that the engine that you have was twitchy, as I do not run anything else but LGB, which arent twitchy at all. <br /> <br />Thats all I can offer. good luck mate. <br /> <br /> <br />Regards ian
