49 Lionel:  Is there any possiblity that you could install more pickup rollers on either the engine or the tender?  I guarantee that your problems would be resolved if you could add two more rollers to the equation.  I have a Weaver Little Joe.  Great engine, especially if you want it to pull.  It has 16 wheels powered and could pull the rails around the layout.  But, it did have pick-up problems and with the K-Line Cruise Control, the engine would stop, immediatly, and wait until further commands would make it continue forward.  I installed two more roller and, it's amazing; the problems went away.  The Weaver engine had some open areas right at the center of the engine, and that's where I was able to install the extra pick-up rollers.  What a difference in operation.
