Kato SD40-2 motor problem
#4
Be careful when cleaning these metal contact strips. They bend very easy. I would try using the eraser of a pencil to clean the strips. It will polish the contact strips without putting any scratches in them. Also be careful with any bends that you make, to much pressure on contact points of the truck will cause problems too. These strips are very fragile.
It sounds to me that the rear truck is not making good contact to these strips. There for, there is no power getting to the motor via the rear wheels.
When you pick up the front truck assy from the rails the motor stops working. Is the the case?
