About the operation of this track: 2 questions

if I pull my barrel car on the track, it works very well when it is not directly centered on the track. Is that normal? When I operate the log dump car, the car has to be directly centered on the track?

And it operates both uncoupling and unload off of the uncoupling button. When I try to use the unloading button , nothing happens or maybe the lights will blink at the switches. I have the 4 wires correctly lined up with the way the 4 wire comes out of the controller.

what could be the matter? Any ideas?

Barrel car only 1 sliding shoe on the UCS or OTC at a time. One to load, the other to unload. Log dump car needs both shoes on the track to operate. Try turning to wire on the track 180 degrees.

Barrel Car came with its own contractor with blades that stood between the rails.

Chuck. I don’t know exactly what you mean.

are you saying to flip the 4 terminal wires to opposite what they are currently?

Yes.
