Hi guys, as the title says, I have the orient express (26922) and after some time I try to play with it, but the loco seems not to be too strong to run with all the wagons. 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

Hello
I have the set and runs beautifuly.
It can climb a 5% slope in R1 M track on my Layout at Medium speed with no problems.
Have you checked traction tires?
The other Problem seems to be dirt on the tracks.

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. |
