Powering Tenders

[Anonymous]

AnthonyT. If that brass were any brighter or the nickel silver any shiner, I would have to wear shades.

The first time I asked about this I was told essentially the same thing, so I went around the layout with a rubber eraser and other solvents and by the time it was done the track gleamed. I have since kept it that way (its gotten easier as I have replaced much of the Brass). BUT!, and there is always a but, I have still had the problem of my turnouts.

I wouldn't be as concerned with this, but all of my diesels and my electrics have NO problem tracking over them. My steam on the other hand gets about 1/3 of the way through the turnout and stalls.

It sounds like your track may not be as clean as it could be

I have heard tell of an article that informs the reader on how to power the tenders on their Steam engines. I have 3 engines that are in desperate need of this as I am sick of them stalling on turnouts and in other places. Could someone please direct me to this article
