I have made some changes to the layout.I have done away with sharp curves.I removed some of the switchs and replaced a few old streight peaces with new track.I have just ran a fast mixed freight and the locomotive ran better.And best of all the locomotive was not even warm to the touch.Another thing that I noticed was there was no unwanted coupler popping open.All this time and I thought there something wrong with the trains.Turns out I needed a few new pieces of track.Oh well live and learn we are always learning new things.The only thing is that wished that I have been done this a lot early on.Any body out there that has gone through something like this?All right now guys let the fun start.
