[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 Actually, in N scale the problem can be worse than it is in HO. Serious N scalers like the Peco switches best. My guess is that the Bachmann engine does not have electrical pickup on all of it's wheels. This makes power in turnouts all the more important for smooth running. [/quote] No, the engine doesn't have pickup on all of it's wheels, and is the only engine I have that acts like that-the rotten piece of s--t!... I may just try replacing the switches as you and others have recommended and see if that fixes the problem. I like using this particular engine to pull both freight and passenger service of the 1940s and 50s. Thanks Big_Boy_4005. trainluver1
