We would need some more information to hekp make a determination of your probleM:

What engine?
What power supply?
What is the age of this equipment?
Has this engine ever worked?
Has it worked in your current setup (layout)?
What is it pulling?

Off hand, it sounds like you might have a power pack that is tripping from over current, and that you have some dirty track, but without lots more information, that is truly just a guess.

Happy RRing,

My engine shuts down after about 10 minutes and when i wait a few and unplug and then plug back in it will work again. Also it will run fine then at a few places it will slow down, not stop just go slower for about 6 inches and speed back up so can anyone tell me what is wrong and what i can do.

thank you
Jim
