Mine seems to. It is one of those models that OGR did a review on years past. I have a manual switch which this little gem seems to come to a complete halt at
times then at others it runs across fine.
Also, on the K-Line shadow track switch it will do the same but more so.
Any of you had the same problem?

I haven't had that problem on mine (Fastrack O-72, O-60, O-48 switches).
No problems with mine on FasTrack and O36 switches.
Again...I must not be 'holding my mouth right!'.
Seriously....are we CITIZENS OF AMERICA so fortunate to live in such a nation.
HAPPY JULY 4TH and thank you to our forefathers who had the guts to
fight for our INDEPENDENCE !!!
I have the same issue. If I go through a O48 fastrack turnout slowly it will stop. will be adding a pair of wires going to the tender rollers to help fix the issues.
That's a novel idea. Think I will that it. Thanks.
note: upon crossing over the Lionel uncoupler, which came with the set, sometimes it will just stop and go into 'neutral'. I put some fingernail lacquer over the little raised portion of the uncoupled and that seemed to help.
First off, make sure you clean the turnout rails and the pickup rollers on the loco.
Check between the two rollers with a meter to see if both are connected. If you only have one roller connected, they'll be very touchy on most any switches.
I thought I was having this same problem with all my locomotives, until I took a closer look and realized that with an uncoupler right next to the switch, I had a roller on the frog and one on the uncoupler, which equals no go. Makes it hard to do yard switching.
No uncouplers on my track. I have changed everything to kadees and took out all the uncouplers.
