Problem Description:
apart from the wheels need cleaning a lot, one of the trucks (front one) loses contact with the track causes the loco to stall over switches. I think the wiring from one side of the front truck is not connecting through to the decoder.

Solution Description/Service Details:
Design fault on loco has plastic crimps to hold wires onto tabs inc on the trucks. These were removed and the wires soldered on. Only the power feeds were soldered. Light and motor tabs were untouched. Also worked on left side hand rail. Better but not perfect.
