Hi again,
I am having a hard time
situation: I bought 2 sets 1 bachman 1 model power, I also bought 6 Atlas snap switches (3 the day after Christmas and 3 last week), I have also bought misc pkgs of Atlas track all cd 100. The lay is roughly 50sq ft includes 2 tunnels and 3 bridges
When I designed my layout and then run the track, the train ran ok and had no derailments. I decided this was the lay out that fit my needs and tacked the track down NOW the train ( i just run 1 at a time) stops in 3 places and de rails consistantly, I did all this before I knew of a train forum. the places it stops are on the far side of me, and the power pack. I have checked the track and its in place I have worn out a life like track cleaner and a plain eraser, it run fine for a lap or 2 then start shutting down again in the same places, and another note, can the control for the switches be bad from the factory? My 3 new ones won't switch with the control that came with it but when I change them to the 1st ones they work fine, So is it the controler?
Thanks for any help
