The reason that I went with code 83 was the selection of turnouts. More variety in curved and straight switches then any other code. <br /> <br />Their isn't going to be enought voltage drop between code 83 and 100 to worry about. I crammed a four year electrical engineering degree into five years and trust me the voltage drop isn't a problem, but bad track and bad trucks are. Since it was the same car at the same place, I'd bet the car was at fault. Try turning the car around and see if that makes a difference. Just from experience I'd say one of the trucks was "crabbing". <br /> <br />Bob
