The packages should "shoot" down the chute from the force of the man throwing them down. If they don't, then perhaps you need to connect the device to a transformer with a higher voltage output (30b), or use a 14 gauge stranded wire to run your power leads (if the leads are longer than a couple feet) so there isn't as much line drop of voltage. If that doesn't help, maybe the coil needs rewound (my last resort). Keep the chute clean, a little furniture paste wax may help, wiped back off after it hardens. I would first do all my testing with the loader connected directly to a testing transformer on my work bench with short power leads. It's amazing how fast switches will snap doing a bench test, and how poorly they sometimes work on the layout. That is why I recommend a heavier gauge wire on the layout to conduct current better for a longer distance. After I got it working good, I'd see how it works on the layout, in it's place.

Any suggestions as to how to better move the "Packages" down the chute of the baggage loader? And exactly what should be on the chute? What did the loader come with when first shipped? Just curious,John B. S-Trains list sponsor: http://www.americanflyertrains.com All the Flyer you desire...books and accessories too!
