One locomotive especially, stops very often. I dont know if it is lose connection, low battery or what. Looking for help. Thanks

Is this a problem with the "My world" battery sets or battery operated controllers of digital sets? If it's the digital locomotives running with battery operated handsets, then the cause is more likely to be dirty tracks. Give the rails a good clean with a solvent such as alcohol or white spirit.

Run the loco a few rounds at full speed and contact should improve from round to round if rust is the problem. It cannot harm to clean the outer rails (using non-abrasive methods).
