Do check the things mentioned above that others have suggested. Add to your list the condition and cleanliness of the locomotive itself too. Examine the rollers. They need to be squeaky clean. The wheels, free of grease, dirt or any kind of build up. After cleaning the rollers, a small drop of oil on the roller pins, and on the pivot point for the roller arms does help. As I stated before, this locomotive does not have cruise. This is the simplest and earliest of TMCC.....this is basically a remote controlled throttle. Don’t rip your hair out trying to make it do something it can’t do....it’s not going to cruise around your layout and maintain a certain speed. It’s not equipped with that capability. If all else fails, and she still doesn’t perform like you’d want it to, then it’s time for upgrades if she’s one of your favorites and you want to run the snot out of it. If Postwar locomotives are Dinosaurs, your C&O Hudson ain’t much past the Stone Age .......it can be brought up to modern electronics...........Pat
