Joined: 02/12/2012(UTC) Posts: 11 Location: Cambridge		My MAR 39353 sometimes fails to pick up any signal when I switch it on. It's just dead - no lights, nothing. If I can get it to start it runs perfectly and the functions all operate. The if I take it off the track and put it back, the whole thing is dead again. I've cleaned the wheels and slider and oiled it as per the instructions and tried fiddling with the addresses. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a Taurus with a C sine motor and until it's warmed up, it runs sporadic. Always has. When I nudge it from the sides it usually takes off again. This only happens when it hasn't been run in a long time. If only a day or two it runs perfect even cold.
