Hi all...
Well, here's my second newbie post about my first electric train purchase. We're getting the last of our holiday stuff put away, and the last thing standing is our new Bachmann On30 Trolley and track. I'm still enjoying seeing it set up. Anyway, I've noticed that in the last week or so, when I first power it up for a session of running, it runs much slower than it did when I first set it up a few weeks back, often appearing to almost "struggle" to keep going. Normally after running a while it gets better, but I'm still wondering what's going on. Is is more likely an electical or a mechanical thing? I'm wondering if it's struggling a bit due to a need for lubrication, or possibly poor electrical continuity somehow. Thoughts and help would be much appreciated.
Thank you, Greg
