Here is a further follow up on this topic.
Sally the Yard Goat has now had 5 or 6 short operating sessions with a total of about 1 hour of running time, and she is doing just fine, and has not stalled at all on my 031 curves.
It looks like the last time I administered Rick's Squeeze, it fully seated the tether plug into the receptacle, hopefully, on a permanent basis. That, coupled with returning Sally to Lionel under warranty, who slightly lengthening her tether so it would better navigate 031 curves as advertized, did the trick.
In view of this apparently successful fix, I may be so bold as to let Sally venture out of the freight yard and onto the main lines of my layout.
If I do, that would be momentous.
Stay tuned to tomorrow's Switcher Saturday. There, you may see Sally the Yard Goat rolling down the main line.
LOL, Arnold
