Solved an electrical problem in a Premier GP9 diesel loco.

I have an MTH Premier Grand Trunk Western GP9 diesel-electric locomotive model that was stalling at slow speeds over the switches on my Atlas O tracks.

After watching where it stalls on the switches, I guessed that the front truck had a wire disconnected. 

In fact the aluminum wire had been cut too short and never inserted in the wire nut. 

I cut a section of copper wire to put one end in the wire nut and twist the other end to the too short wire. 

I could not find any tiny wire nuts immediately, so I used hot glue to insulate the wires. 

Now the GTW GP9 diesel loco is running over the switches at the slowest speeds possible.
