Thanks Scott! If it was shorting the lights and sound would be killed and the breaker would be tripped, which did not occur.

Laidoffsick:

I only run one engine flat out in HO and that is my PFM 25 ton Shay. LOL

My Sunset HO 2-10-4 negotiates 26” radius with a blind center driver only and rp-25 flanges, not pizza cutters. Translating to 52” radius in O scale (roughly). Of course I know the difference - I got into 3 Rail O when it became at least semi scale and it lent itself to entertaining over Christmas... the new generation of O 3 Rail equipment is great. Plus I could run my childhood stuff! Maybe this engine is too much for my kind of operation I bought it on the face of the published specs, and a lifelong desire to own one. There are no warnings about it not being suitable for sectional track, versus handlaid or Gargraves/Ross. Does anyone ever Hand Lay 3 Rail?! Yeah of course there is somebody doing it...
