There is bad contact in the track connections. You can sand the track connection sites. Another method is to run another power wire to the other end of the track where the train slows down. Even better is 3 or 4 evenly spaced power wires from the transformer to the track.
I have a 1950's engine and transformer. I run it
Turn the power to the track off and then back on. The engine may stay still because the train is in neutral. Turn the power off and on once again. The engine should now go forward or reverse. Turning the powere on and off again will return the train to neutral. On and off again should make the train move in the opposite direction. If all of these steps work then the problem is in the "Direction" button of the transformer. But if the problem still persist, than the "E" unit in the engine needs to be serviced. More times than not it is the E unit. The direction button is a simple momentary off switch that has few moving parts.

It sounds like the counterbalance spring is loose or disconnected. I would rather add weight to the counterweight box to take some load off of the motor...Use fishing sinkers, one or two rolls of pennies or equivalent. Also do not overtighten the spring you will warp the base of the bridge.

How do I remove air bubbles from resin artwork?
I often get asked the question, "How do I remove air bubbles from epoxy resin artwork?" If you've ever seen blisters or bubbles in your epoxy resin artwork, then you're not alone. It happens to the best of us. These air bubbles are caused by trapped air. There's two ways to get rid of that pesky air: 1. Gently push the bubble to coax it out 2. Pop the bubble The best method for removing air bubbles is to use a Dremel or drill bit (which is what I use). It makes easy work of pushing the air out and makes perfect round holes as well. Now when time comes for casting resin, don't forget your hole!
