Reply to "MTH 2 rail steam."

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?
