Legacy Reading T1 Problem

laz1957OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

Hi GUYZ,

I just purchased a new Reading T1 Legacy 2124 Lionel number 6-83201 and I am having a problem with going up a small incline and also on some straights. I am using Lionel Fast track and using Lionel Legacy Cab 2 controls, track powered by 180 watt brick fixed 18 volts. The problem is that at slow speed from 1 to 20 on the cab 2 sometimes the drivers will turn but not have the engine move. I have already changed the traction tires, no difference. I also have switched out the spring in the rear truck with a spring from my Lionel FEF. I little better with the traction but still no help on the slight incline. Any ideas on whats going on with this? All my other Legacy steamers have no problems with this at all. Shoulsd I send this back to Lionel? Any thoughts on this. Thank you for your time.

Forgot to add the Fast track is clean, no oil or grease on it.
