Fast Freight CW-80 and stalling question

Hi.

I have a new union pacific fast freight (o gauge) with cw-80 transformer. I have less than 3 hours on the set.

Sometimes, when the bell button on the CW-80 is pressed, the loco changes direction.

Also, the train switches from forward to neutral (stalls) out at the same point on the track (where the fast track remote switch is located).

Thank you in advance for any help?

Dan

Trainman1965,

Thank you for your welcome and your reply.
I plan to take your advice and clean/check all track connections.

Thank you!

Check an see if you have wired the bell botton back words I think this happen to me when I was in o gauge Also check the wires to the transformer for tightness . If they are loose this can cause problems allso.
