[quote user="UpNorth"]<p>Hey!.. It's a girly car man (inside joke)</p><p>The Quantum Engineer (QE) is cool but I would drop the idea in favor of a true DCC controler. The QE only works with QSI decoders and only those with QARC. You limit yourself to one decoder type. Get either a Digitrax Zephyr from that hobby shop in Dorval or shop around on Ebay for one. It is a very good starter and can be up-graded later as the needs arise. You will be able to tie in your computer and talk to the decoder using FREE software.</p><p>This engine has traction tires on one axel, both wheels. Could be related as one truck is only picking up current on two wheels. Hate traction tires. Is it cutting out in the middle of strait track or at a switch ?</p><p>Marc.
