        Fastrack 6-12054 Operating Track Controller problem
       By: mja Date: November 30, 2018, 8:38 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I have the above controller that I bought in 2016 and use every
       Christmas season to operate a milk car and log car.
       Each year when I set the layout up the unloading button works
       very erratically.  I have taken it in to my local Lionel dealer
       and when he takes the controller apart it looks like the
       contacts on the unloading side look like they are scorched.
       Using Emory cloth or a small wire wheel cleans the contacts up
       for a season but wondering what is going on with the contacts.
       I don't push the unload button for an excessive time and don't
       use the unloading feature that much.
       It's very frustrating to have to take this in for service every
       year and previously I had a couple of 027 operating tracks that
       never needed this service.
       Any ideas?

       I would replace the whole unit.
