Hi Dave,
My tests with applying metal polish to the rails helped remove all
stalling problems for about two months and then it was back again. I am
not a metal expert, but I did find that I have to clean the wheels of my
American Models engines before each run. The SHS switcher I only clean
before and after a club show. The RS-1 (north yard chassis) gets
slightly dirtier easier than the SHS switcher. So, yes, when I mentioned
dirty rail, I really meant dirty rail *and* dirty wheels (and the chore
of cleaning the wheels too).

Are you sure it was a track problem and not a wheel problem? I never have
problems with track but I have had locos with wheels that oxidized and caused
them to stall, then the solution was just a new set of NWSL wheels..DaveBranum
