short lack of power

i have an onguard reverse loop module and a reverse loop with insult joiners at each end.
when the loco enters the loop it stop as soon as it joins the loop connection i have to push the loco into the loop then it will carry on through and out of the loop
has anyone got any idea why the loco is stopping please

Without a copy of the manual or your track plan showing all connections- I think it maybe difficult to give an answer.

all sorted using the wrong gauge wire
thanks for the advice

Hi ?


 It seems as if your engine is picking up its power , from the FRONT wheel on one track ,
and the REAR wheel on the track . Therefore when the engine is straddling the insulated joiners ,
   BOTH wheels are picking up the SAME polarity .ie both either positive , OR both negative.

   When you push the engine forward, power is returned when the REAR wheel passes over the
   insulated joiner, and both positive AND negative power are available.


 Hope this might be of some help ,
