Ads_sar Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi, I recently picked up a W4, awesome model. I am having issues running the train however. It runs very sluggish and sticks quite often requiring a push to get going again. My other train runs fine. I've tried cleaning the track but the performance is the same :( any thoughts?

walkingthedog Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Needs spotless track and wheels. Does it have this problem on ordinary sections of track.Run it in, should run smoother after a while. If not, return it. I have one and it runs fine. Did falter a bit over a diamond crossing so I permanently attached a wagon with extra pick-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ads_sar Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks, some parts of the track it runs better, tends to smuggle more on curves. I will try giving it a longer run to see if it improves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Run for 30 minutes at a medium speed say clockwise. Turn the loco round and run it backwards in the same direction, clockwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
