When I bench test the locomotive it runs great, yet on the track the Pickup shoe is red hot after a couple of laps. I have cleaned the armature and installed new brushes. The loco ran well with the old style shoes made for the 50s solid rail track. Does anyone have any suggestions? Hope you all had a Happy New Year. Regards, George. "Pickup shoe is red hot" REALLY! Can it be so?
