Athearn RTR Loco Stalling

The other weak spot in the Athearn Electrical system is the wiper on top of the motor to the riser from the trucks. If that is not making contact it will result in spotty operation. For reliability it might take soldering a jumper cable from the trucks to wiper or to the brass keeper strip on top of the motor (remove parts from the model before soldering.)
