Definitely been there! One common issue I’ve faced is dirty or oxidized track—just a light rub with a track 🚇cleaning block or isopropyl alcohol can make a big difference. I also had a loco that kept stalling at turnouts, which turned out to be a wiring gap. Added a feeder wire and boom—problem solved.
Another tip: check your wheels and pickups. Gunk builds up fast, especially if you run often. A little maintenance goes a long way.
If you’re stuck, post some layout pics or describe the problem—happy to help troubleshoot! Let’s get those trains rolling smoothly again.
