OK, re-soldered that tether.

Now she doesn't stall, she shorts out? angry

Luckily the very last time I actually saw the approx. spark area. It appeared at the back of the engine. So I went thru any spots that may short.

I don't even have the rear step plate swung up in position, so that's not it.

I found that a spring on the engine's tether post could touch the 6 wire harness side contacts so I wrapped that harness jack with tape.

I swung the rear trailing assembly and noticed spots where it could short. So I took a grinder to some areas to increase the gap around the wheels. I also bent the power pickup strips as they could possibly touch the mounting post of that trailing truck.

I don't see any arc spots yet and the engine made it around the layout once now without a short! Yahoo.

I quit.
