@wizzer posted:Yes, I cleaned all the track. I cleaned the rollers and the wheels on the engine and the tender. The "Lionel" name plate between the roller arm springs was a little loose --being held in place by only 3 of the 4 tabs ---so I removed it.
Any improvements?......as Rob had mentioned, these things will spark some on fastrack, .....did you put a drop of oil on the rollers and the pivot pins of the arms?......this should make some improvements......let us know if you’re at least marching in the right directions....
