Greetings,
Wondering about a couple of things here. I have one or two cars (the same ones) that seem to lurch fore & aft with some regularity as the train progresses around the layout, especially at low speeds. The location in the train is usually toward the end, furthest away from the loco. I'm wondering, if maybe it may be only a dirty track problem, where the loco itself is lurching, but the action is transmitted only to the last few cars, although I can't see that happening. Or if one car is possibly too heavy weighted, or what... we're dealing with n gauge here, and accumate/mt/kadee couplers which seem to have a fair amount of fore & aft sprung motion anyway.
By the way, I recently acquired an Atlas RS3. Man! Is this a sweet runner or what? VERY quiet, extremely smooth even right out of the box. I am impressed!
