I need your help. My 312 K5 steamer stalls when it runs over the plastic frog on switches. The wheels and track have been cleaned with a dremel tool & brite boy respectively. The tender is a cast metal unit with link trucks. By using a voltmeter, I have narrowed the problem down to the front truck brass wheels - there is poor contact between the wheels & track. When the engine is stalled on the frog, the other pickup wheel is not resting on the rail solidly enough to get electrical contact. Pushing its axle down with a screwdriver re-establishes contact and the engine moves.
I tried twisting the truck to change the alingment, but have had no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
