cteno4 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 looks pretty smooth now! the slowup is the steep grade with a longer train and curves. harder to try to ride the throttle with this kind of throttle to keep a more even movement. also might add an extra feeder or two, especially at the start of the grade up to make sure no power drop there. older connectors can have a little oxidation on them and thus will give more of a voltage drop joint to joint. jeff Link to comment
katoftw Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 So what was the issue? Old track? Old joiners? Dirty track? Dirty joiners? Old throttle? Link to comment

VentureForth Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 I actually did a lot. As I replaced all the brown track on the viaduct with FT, I wiped each rail down with IPA. then methodically wiped down all the remaining track. I also wiped IPA on the motor unit, bring careful not to undo any of the oiling in the gears. All in all, a couple hours, but well worth it! 2 Link to comment
