  • Tony P says:

    Hi Klaus, This has been covered in greater detail in older posts. But the basics are Clean all your tracks, Solder all non insulated track joints, Make sure all track joints are tight, Add additional power supplies at farther distances from the transformer and solder them. Check your locos, clean wheels etc. Tony P
