I've got a Weaver light pacific pulling 15 cars on my 2-rail carpet central. It is the 2-rail no-sound version from 8-10 years ago. I was bummed when I first put power to the rails and had no lights. But it runs great in both directions and pulls well, so I've enjoyed the engine.
Something interesting happened tonight. While running in reverse, the train stopped. I throttled down to 0, then throttled back up... The train did not move, but the lights came on! I was thrilled! I throttled back down, then back up... Now the train moved, but no lights. I was able to reproduce this behavior a couple times, but only when running in reverse.
anyone know what's going on?
