Peco 55 Track on Woodland Scenics Track Bed ST1475

Mick has a question for anyone who can answer it:

“I an setting up my first DCC N-Scale layout using Peco code 55 Track on Woodland Scenics track bed ST1475. I am also using Peco switches. However, my locos (e.g. InterMountian FTA/B pair) usually sits and spins the wheels on the track – conductivity, but no traction. There are also spots where the 16v DCC is present (as measured using a VOM on AC setting), but the train sits. What can I do to correct this BIG problem?”

    I’ve used that track+roadbed combo with no problem. Might your track be on a steep grade? Perhaps unintentional? (i.e., if you are building a table layout on a garage floor, a table built square will match the garage floor’s slope)
