Of course, “this place” was at the most inaccessible section of the layout. It’s a 4 foot long grade built for the Climax to climb. When it climbed though, she stalled on the section of track right where the black 1 by 6 ends above.
What to do??? First - take the engine off the track and check for Voltage.. I have a digital multi-meter just for this purpose. Placing the switch in Volts.. I touched the red lead to the outside rail, the black to the inside rail and it read 23.5 Volts… I then slid the leads along the rails and found that the measurements fluctuated…
Not good…. It was losing voltage (And most likely Current too). I pulled up the 4 tracks and brought them into the shop.
