While one of the sets works perfectly the other has an issue with the lights that flicker (variation on intensity) when the train does break or accelerate. Any guess where the source of the problem may be more importantly how the issue can be fixed. Thanks and regards, Pas

Indeed the tendency as that happens more when the car is pushed (white lights). Guess track is not the problem as only this wagon is having issues.
