Hello,

 

I just got a 22- series (scale wheels, fixed pilot) Premier diesel locomotive. I set the switches to 3 rail and DCS that are located in the top part of engine.  No matter what, the engine trips the transformer when I turn the power on.  Even tried changing the switch settings.

 

Any ideas what to try?  Am I missing something?  I thought the engine will not trip the transformer if the switches are not set right.  At least I think this is what happened on other engines.  This is the first 22- series engine I have owned.

you can also use a digital VOM and use continuity from the roller to any where on the engine frame or ground,if there is a dead short you should read close to 0 ohms with the ohm meter from " roller" to the chassis ground, if there is a short it will show up with the meter! take the reading and let us know how you make out?
