Thanks, to Mopac 1, jcater and millcstl for your help in solving my track power-loss, posting! After careful examination of the affected locomotives, I found a lot of black residue, on the inside of the wheels @ the wipers!!! I cleaned the areas, thoroughly, including the brass-wiper, contact points, re-assembled, and they work just fine!!! I would have been terribly disappointed, if my track-work and wiring had been the culprit. I really took my time in sub-roadbed, cork laying, rail-joining and liquid, flux application-as well as very neat and thorough soldering..... Thanks, again for the,"GOOD", help fellas... Richard
