what is the current draw indicating on your Z4000 ,Also what is your track signal should be all ten's and have you cleaned your track n engine wheels , everything can make a big difference. Also of your engines your trying are your tethers connectors fully inserted in tenders if they are steam engines?

Added note to GGG comment.  The steel pin that holds the roller in place, can corrode, not visible to the eye.  A liberal application of a corrosion removing solvent, (?? WD 40?? ) and then a conductive grease or oil.  Standard third (middle) rail, electrical,  was two roller pick-ups.   There are some models with (4) roller pick-ups, center rail.

Additional note:  New out of the box, my Atlas RS1, had an excessive about of paint, on the wheel flanges, that had to be removed.   Moving electrical contacts, by nature are problematic, IMO, Mike CT.

 

Thanks GGG and Mike CT

i will go what you said and soak it in WD40

i am thinking it cannot hurt to order extra rollers

I open to see if connections are cut or lose had that issue before but everything looks good

it does start and move a little and stops it sounds like after a rotation on the roller it’s cannot get contact

then you push it and it starts again and stops a few inches
