Increasing traction on Lionel turbine 6-18010

traintreasures,

A few questions will need to be answered before an answer can be given wisely. What type of track are you using and how clean is it usually? When you service your engine are steps being taken to keep excess oil off the track and the locomotives drive wheels? Once you make certain that these steps are being observed then and only then can can a appropriate answer (solution) be reached. The process of elimination.
