class153 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Model rail community, please help me... I recently bought a Realtrack class 144, but am experiences problems with the pickups and am wondering if the wonderful internet model rail community would offer its knowledge. The problem is that the wheels on the power car are not picking up power from the track, but the dummy car is, thus creating erratic running. All lights appear to be working so I am flummoxed. Am i missing something obvious, and if not could anyone offer me any help before I trail off to my local model shop? Many thanks and any advice much appreciated class153 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
