But at the time I was just getting into the hobby and didn't know anything. I saw the switcher on ebay and thought oh cool and jumped in feet first...If I knew then what I know now, well lets just say I wouldn't be having this problem. Anyways now I'm just trying to make the best out of what I have, and if I learn something in the process then that is a good thing.</p><p>I'm not sure about the version of this switcher, however I did take it apart, (as you can see) and played with the pick ups alittle, made sure that they were touching the wheels. It ran alittle better but not great still. And I think that at times only 4 of the 6 wheels are touching. The front and back wheels touch while the middle ones do not. Hope the pics help with some info, thanks for the help.</p><p>Norman.....</p><p> </p>
