Getting things ready for the grandchildren's visit and tried to run Thomas on a different loop with an O-72 switch in it. (He runs fine on O-42s on the other loop.) Stalls out running backwards and is fine running forward, probably a function of pickup spacing, traction tires etc. For now it runs forward.

Long term solution I'd like to add a set of pickups under one of the coaches and wire to the engine. Anyone have an idea what might be addapted to the coaches? currently there are no pickups as they are not lit. The set is the 90s Michigan product if that's a factor.

thanks

I recently purchased the work train add-on set. The work caboose is lighted, so perhaps a truck from that could be used.

edit: 6-30191 doesn't appear in replacement parts lookup oh well...

 

Thomas has permission to run on the mainline on my layout with 072 switches. I have no problems. His engineer likes to run him in reverse. I have FasTrack and the LionChief Thomas.
