I have been running an MTH #30-20145-1 SD60 Diesel Engine on Atlas track with MTH DCS system. Recently, I have noticed that sparks are coming from the front and rear electrical pick-up. the sparks are coming from the roller part that rides on the 3rd rail. This causes the engine to shut down, as it thinks it has derailed. I have tried to clean the pick-ups as well as lubricate the pick-up without any success of fixing the problem. The engine is not more then 1 year old and has not been run a lot. Any ideas on what could be wrong and how I could possibly go about fixing this?
Thank you!
