Hello. I have a Lionel train set that's about 50 years old. The 15 VAC transformer works, and the train runs, but it's very slow and seems like it's having trouble. It seems to almost stop at certain places in the track (especially on turns). There is a strong ozone smell when the train is running.
I've tried cleaning the track with alcohol, and even Brasso since I thought maybe tarnish (rather than dirt) was the problem. Maybe helped a little but not much.
Do you have any suggestions as to what might be wrong, and how I can get this old train running like new again?
Thanks!
Nathan
