GGG - When my MTH PS3 J stalls on perfectly straight clean track it will only restart if I gently push either a tender truck or the locomotive driver sideway (against the rail). -then it lurches to a start. I've installed a temporary jumper between the engine frame and the tender frame and it helps - but stalls still occasionally happen. My conclusion is that the issue isn't the drawbar connection or PS3 connections since it restarts when I move the loco (or tender) on the rail. I've polished the driver and tender treads until they shine - still intermittent pickup. The only think I can think of at this point is to add wipers on the tender trucks for all wheel pickup. Do you have any tips I may not have thought of?
