QUOTE: Another cause of stalling is uneven track, particularly at rail joints on curves and grades (mostly 2% on my layout). A slight dip in the track on HO may have no effect, but the same amount of dip on Z can be a killer. Another favourite stalling place is the turnout. these need to be scrupulously clean, particularly the flat under-the-wheel-flange contacts on either side of the frog point (I'm referring to Marklin turnouts here).
