I did end up cleaning the track during this test, unfortunately it didn't help much. I found that properly barking-in the locomotive got it to run more reliably. What seemed to be really holding this locomotive back was the fact that the motor was dragging and hand a wine to it. Needing more current to spin was causing it to cut out more then it should have. Thanks for watching!
Atlas had an FA-1years ago. Was first N Scale locomotive with a flywheel. This is based on the Life Like FA-1
Next documentary when?
Might want to clean your track before testing a loco with no keep alive installed.
