Thanks, Mark.

=======

More testing of new DCC power plus one engine short found.

Ran N&W J 4-8-4 with smoke and 6 lighted passenger cars, all from MTH.

Taking on water.

B&O EM-1 2-8-8-4 (westside) and 12 passenger cars (only 2 has lights).

This engine short at two locations and took awhile to find the problem.

Along 450' of mainline and the engine would short at two locations, both on curves with no derailments. Finally found that the lead truck would touch the frame and caused the short. Some electrical tape fixed it.

DCC only drawing about 1.5 amps with 5 passenger trains on the mainline (two trains have no lights in the cars save the observation car). Also, did the quarter test on different districts and only that district shorted. Both trains ran with no derailments.
