Problems With Loco Stopping
If your locomotive stops or slows down in the same spot on the track frequently here’s some things to try:
1. Thoroughly clean section of track
2. Check for “dead spots” a bad track connector or glue from scenery can disrupt power flow
3. If problem persists track may be too large for the size of transformer/power pack
Another quick model railroad tip:
Running your trains at least once a day helps keep the rails from getting dirty in the first place, so that’s a fun way to keep rails clean, and feels less like work.
