Sorry to hear of you running issues with the MTH engine. I feel your pain.
My layout has been around over 40 years and has 27 Marx 1590 switches and is 027. I still have the running problems with most new to the layout engines. It always takes awhile to figure out what the cause is. I have most issues with 8 drive wheel engines, diesels, and 4 wheel leading trucks. Most recently was a Marx 333, 4-6-2 and the sliding power pick up. This was only on one of my to 333s. The one before this was a new Lionel 561, 0-8-0 switcher.

Good afternoon Charlie,
How have you gone about fixing the issues you have run into? In my particular situation I will be placing an order for 1oz tire weights that I plan on placing on the trailing truck to see if it corrects itself on the straight sections. I planned on using the weights on some of my freight cars to weight them to NMRA standards anyhow so I guess this will just expedite the purchase.
