One final, final note: for those of you who happen to be lucky enough to own a Lionel #91 postwar circuit breaker (yes Virginia, there is also a #91 prewar circuit breaker, and they are NOT the same animal) and you drive LionChief engines around your layout, here’s a tip. If you have a small derailment and you set things back on the track, but the engine does funny stuff like this you probably didn’t break anything, just reach over and reset your breaker. All will be right with the world, hopefully. The good news is that nothing blew up as a result of that derailment - perhaps my newly added TVS device worked!!!
I spent around an hour-and-a-half troubleshooting that weird sounding problem last night, before I logically deduced the nature of the cause. I’ll spare you all the gory troubleshooting details, suffice it to say I didn’t have to spend any more money – yay!!!!
