Dose anybody know why motor runs great on D/C and not on A/C .
I think I know I have it wired and all cleaned up real good.
I've tried everything I know but no luck.
Hope some one knows or heard of this problem.

Has it been converted to DC with a full wave rectifier installed? Does it still have an e-unit installed? A picture might help determine the problem.
Thanks Mr. Nissen.
As far as can tell it is all original. No mods or conversions.
It's old and a real challenge but it's coming. The darn thing
runs great on test track with a d/c converter. but I put
on the track with a/c V transformer it might run in reverse
for awhile then stop there and hums. I'm pretty sure all
is wired up correct. I'm at a loose. Thanks for getting
back with me.

Finally got the motor to run on a/c trans.
Found to e-unit drum had one side warn out.
Would only catch on d/c converter just happen to
see it sparking on a/c trans. Changed drum cured problem
runs great.
Except on some curved track. It jumps track on curves at
any speed with all three car attached. Engine alone runs
great. That's on 31 o gauge tube track. Any help from
you experts would be helpful.
Thanks Tom
