I have a lionel shay 6-18023 that was produced 20+ yrs ago; this is one of the engines that Mike Wolf help to have developed when working for lionel
it runs find at slow speeds, except when passing through a fastrack switch; it stalls and stops at slow speeds
i carefully tilted it up so i could see where the rollers were at time of stall and it is when the roller on the tender goes through a dead zone on the switch for the center rail
the engine itself has two additional rollers, but they do not seem to provide the same functionality as the tender roller, hence the engine stops
is this a common problem, or is this an issue with the engine rollers not working
thanks for your help
