I just got my GS 1 back from Lionel service After 2 months and it ran badly,the headlight blinked and it ran about 5 Feet and stopped.I cleaned the track which was already clean and it made no difference.I run two Trains on each loop and all other trains run perfectly.It is on a loop with an SP AC9 Legacy that Runs perfectly.I also have Gunrunner Johns Signal enhancer which eliminates any signal loss.Any input appreciated,will call lionel Monday.

I’d start looking at the handrails and make sure they are not touching the shell at any point. Also if your not opposed to it and you don’t see anything outside I’d pop it open and check for smashed wires but also where the heat shrink is on the wires going to the handrails in rough shipment the insulation can break then it’s shorting to the motor frame. Just a little pice of electrical tape is all that’s needed
Are the other trains operating when the GS-1 does this or are you operating the GS by itself?
