At first, I notice that problem when the track has a medium slope, but now that happens on a flat track. I don't know what is happening, but it looks like the loco is drifting like F&F. And the other question is that I run c tracks but some times the loco gets stuck, like without energy. Then I have to push her a little bit to make her run again. (that is more a general problem than a particular one). I would appreciate any comments about it

I would appreciate any comments about it You're not one of the millions of model train enthusiasts who oil their locos excessively, hence the tires get wrecked and the grime and dirt gets transferred to the track.
