I guess these things are pretty obvious, but make sure that you've got your NCE PowerCab connected to the correct plug and using the correct 6 wire flat cable and not the supplied 4 wire cable. I read somewhere that the original users manual showed the cable locations wrong so be sure you're connected correctly as in this diagram
. Make absolutely sure that you don't have any sort of short from the power panel wires and on your track. I've never had any problem with mine and even got a longer 14 foot cable that I use so I can walk from one end of the layout to the other. Just love the NCE system!
Only other thing that I can think of would be if you don't have power feeders to all your tracks, you'll lose power to your loco when it's on a section of track with no power feeders and you line your switch so that power is cut to that track. Visualizing a typical TimeSaver track arrangement, I can see all sorts of locations where that could happen.
Just some thoughts.
