I had this S-4 since xmas this is about the 10th time I've used it in a operating session on my small switching layout,  It was running great till today! It's stopping & starting all over the layout ( Not dirty track) my 45 & 44 ton run fine!! The wipers look fine ! if you move the trucks sometimes  it seems to stop & not all the time!  You could run over the same track 10 times & it will stop twice?? Very frustrating!!! Any help?
