bbmiroku,

Thanks for the reply.  Same thing here.  Had a home Christmas party last Saturday and my train ran all night but the Trolley died after about 4 hours.  Disappointing but you have saved me banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out.  I suspected as much.  Looks like I paid for a static display now!

Recently purchased reverse trolley system.  No setup issues and reverse trolley ran great point to point for a few days.   Did not touch the track in its working configuration but after running for a few hours one night it suddenly stopped.  When reconnected power supply, it now will only lurch forward less than a foot and stops.  Anyone experience this?
